The awards were voted on by the women’s basketball coaches in the Pac-12.

Alleyne — whose career at Oregon ended abruptly last week after the senior tore her ACL in practice — ranks second in NCAA history with 92 total double-doubles. She is also third with 1,712 rebounds.

Alleyne also was named to the conference’s all-defensive team. She led UO in scoring with 19 points per game, good for third in the Pac-12, and 13.6 rebounds per game through the regular season.

Cazorla made the all-freshman cut. She averaged 5.6 assists, most among all freshmen in the nation. Cazorla, along with senior guard Lexi Petersen, earned all-Pac-12 honorable mentions, in addition. Petersen ranks No. 16 in the Pac-12 in scoring (12.7 points) and No. 7 in 3-point field goal percentage with 42.6 percent.

Oregon returned home this week after two straight losses to California and Stanford to cap the regular season. The Ducks will be the No. 6 seed in the Pac-12 Tournament this Thursday, playing No. 11 Arizona at Seattle’s KeyArena.
