SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Indiana senior guard Sara Scalia has been named one of 20 candidates on the Ann Meyers Drysdale Award watch list, announced by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and the Women's Basketball Coaches Association on Tuesday.
The Stillwater, Minn. native averaged 17.9 points and shot 41.3 percent from the 3-point line in her junior season at Minnesota. She led the program in field goal attempts (513), field goals made (203), 3-pointers attempted (269), 3-pointers made (111) and free throw percentage (91.5). Scalia scored in double figures 26 times last season, scoring 30 or more points four times and 20 or more in nine games while notching her 1,000th career point in 2021-22.
Fans are encouraged to participate in Fan Voting, presented by Dell Technologies, in each of the three rounds starting Friday, October 21. In late January, the watch list of 20 players for the 2023 Ann Meyers Drysdale Award will be narrowed to 10 and then in late February to just five. In March the five finalists will be presented to Meyers Drysdale and the Hall of Fame's selection committee where a winner will be selected.
The winner of the 2023 Ann Meyers Drysdale Award will be presented on a to be determined date, along with the other four members of the Women's Starting Five. Additional awards being presented include the Nancy Lieberman Award (Point Guard), Cheryl Miller Award (Small Forward), Katrina McClain Award (Power Forward) and the Lisa Leslie Award (Center), in addition to the Men's Starting Five.
