April 03, 2025 | Cowgirl Basketball
STILLWATER, Okla. – Oklahoma State's Stailee Heard was honored on Thursday evening with the announcement of the 2025 Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-America honors.
The sophomore guard was tabbed as an honorable mention pick, marking the 12th time overall and the ninth different Cowgirl to be recognized with honorable mention status by the WBCA. Heard is OSU's first honoree since Natasha Mack in 2021.
A native of Sapulpa, Okla., Heard was named a first-team All-Big 12 selection and to the league's all-tournament team last month. Additionally, Heard was named to the USBWA Ann Meyers Drysdale National Player of the Year Midseason Watch List and garnered Big 12 Player of the Week honors on Dec. 9 before being named a USBWA National Player of the Week on Jan. 14.
Heard's 16.8 points per game ranked 11th among players in the Big 12 and her 8.2 rebounds per game were the fourth-best average in the league. She finished the season ranked No. 10 among league players in field-goal percentage at 47.7 percent and eighth with her 1.8 steals per contest.
After tallying double-doubles in OSU's final three games of the season, Heard finished with 12 on the year, which is tied for the second-best total among league players and ranked 44th nationally.
Over a three-game stretch, Heard made 13 consecutive 3-pointers, which set school and Big 12 records. Her string was one shy of matching the NCAA mark. She also set the Big 12 Championship single-game record with her 17 made free throws in OSU's win over Texas Tech.
