In this episode of Beyond the Field, host David Endres, '82, sits down with the Oregon State women's basketball standout to reflect on a journey defined by belief, resilience and relationships. From driveway games in Phoenix to becoming one of the most accomplished players in program history, Wiese shares how Oregon State became home — and why it ultimately drew her back.

Wiese revisits the Beavers' run to the 2016 NCAA Final Four, the growth of women's basketball at Oregon State and what it meant to help turn Gill Coliseum into one of the toughest environments in the country. She discusses leadership, team culture and the lessons learned through championship-level preparation and adversity.

The conversation also follows her professional career as a first-round WNBA draft pick, including the challenges of competing at the highest level, playing internationally, navigating injuries and the pivotal moment that led her to step away from playing and into coaching. Now back in Corvallis as an assistant coach, Wiese reflects on service, mentorship and what it means to give back to the program and community that shaped her.

The episode offers a thoughtful look at legacy, identity beyond athletics and why, no matter how far you go, the road can lead back to Oregon State.

In the inaugural episode of Beyond the Field, host David Endres, '82, sits down with Mitch Canham, one of the most influential figures in Oregon State baseball history. From his days as a championship-winning catcher to becoming the Pat Casey Head Baseball Coach, Canham reflects on the mentors, moments and mindset that shaped his journey.

Canham opens up about growing up in Washington, finding Oregon State almost by accident, and how a belief-driven culture carried the Beavers to back-to-back national championships in 2006 and 2007. He shares powerful stories from Omaha, the lessons Pat Casey instilled in his players and why accountability, gratitude and service remain at the core of the program today.

The conversation also explores modern challenges facing college athletics—from NIL and recruiting to leadership in an era of constant change—while underscoring what hasn't changed: the importance of people, purpose and doing things the right way.

This episode offers an inside look at Beaver baseball, leadership under pressure and what it truly means to represent Oregon State—long after the final out.
