LIMA, Peru – When Ali Gibson committed to head coach Scott Rueck and the Oregon State women's basketball team, she was committing to a vision. Five years later she was carried off the floor by her teammates, as the Beavers celebrated the first Pac-12 title in program history.
Tuesday morning, Gibson's impressive basketball resume made another impressive stride, as she took the court for the second Pan American Games of her career. Puerto Rico took down Paraguay in the opening game of the event, with Gibson finishing in double-figures with 12 points.
Gibson's post-collegiate career has centered on Puerto Rico.
