Ferreira was the 2025 WCC Tournament MVP after leading the Beavers in scoring in all three tournament games. The senior notched 19 points in wins over San Francisco and Gonzaga before scoring 17 to defeat Portland in the conference title game.

Being added to the national team was the cherry on top of a stellar season for Ferreira. The transfer from Baylor averaged career-highs as a scorer (9.9 pts/game), rebounder (7.3 reb/game) and facilitator (2.0 ast/game). She scored in double figures 18 times and finished with 10+ rebounds in 10 games. Ferreira’s eight double-doubles were also a career-best.

After representing her country, Ferreira will return to Corvallis where she will play her final year of college basketball in orange and black. All nine Beavers eligible to return to next year’s team elected to stay and the team has announced two transfers and two high school signees joining the nine returners.
