Former Orange Coast College women's basketball player Meghan McIntyre was a star on the court and in the classroom.

The current Southern Oregon University student-athlete was recently named part of the 2022-23 California Community College Athletic Association (3C2A) Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll for achievements at OCC. With nearly 24,000 student-athletes in the 3C2A, McIntyre is among 21 student-athletes selected for this accomplishment.

McIntyre will be honored at the 3C2A Scholar-Athlete Luncheon on Wednesday, March 27, as part of the annual 3C2A Convention in Sacramento.

Before starting at OCC, McIntyre played basketball at Golden West College, where she was one of the top all-around players in the state as a freshman.

"I remember the first time OCC came to play us in our gym, and I liked what (Coach Sammy Doucette) was doing and how she was running her program," McIntyre said. "Something hit me, and I decided that OCC would be a better overall fit for me, so I reached out to Coach Sammy after the season and started the process."

McIntyre started playing at OCC during her sophomore year. As a Pirate, McIntyre's accolades include Orange Empire Conference Player of the Year, State Tournament MVP and First-Team, and All-State honors.

After guiding the OCC women's basketball program to a season for the ages by winning the state championship, Pirate sophomore Meghan McIntyre was selected as the OCC Female Athlete of the Year, as voted on by the school's head coaches from all 24 sports programs.

McIntyre averaged 20.1 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 7.2 assists, leading the Pirates to a 32-1 season record and the school's second-ever women's basketball state championship. Her leadership and superior play helped the Pirates achieve several record-setting stats throughout the season. OCC's 32-1 record and (.970) winning percentage is the best all-time for one season in Pirate history. OCC's 20-game win streak was the longest in school history, and the Pirates' 20-0 record was the most wins in a row to start a season.

McIntyre led the STATE in assists with 236, finishing fourth in the state in points (662) and 12th in the state in rebounds.
