BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Graduate student guard Grace Berger has been named one of 20 to the Cheryl Miller Award watch list, announced by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA). The award honors the nation's top small forward in women's basketball NCAA Division I.
Berger makes her third-consecutive appearance on the Cheryl Miller Award preseason watch and is a unanimous preseason All-Big Ten selection as she enters her fifth season with the Hoosiers. She earned a trio of All-American honorable mention accolades last season as she was a first team All-Big Ten honoree as well. The Louisville, Ky. native led Indiana in scoring with 16.2 points and 4.7 assists per game last season. She additionally added 6.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game where she scored in double figures 30 times and had three double-doubles. Berger was also a Top 10 watchlist candidate for the Cheryl Miller Award, which honors the nation's top small forward with other nods on the Wooden Award and Wade Trophy watchlist for national player of the year. She will enter the 2022-23 season ranked 13th on the all-time scoring list at IU with 1,531 career points.
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 Cheryl Miller Award will be narrowed to 10 and then in late February to just five. In March the five finalists will be presented to Miller and the Hall of Fame's selection committee where a winner will be selected.
The winner of the 2023 Cheryl Miller 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), Ann Meyers Drysdale Award (Shooting Guard), Katrina McClain Award (Power Forward) and the Lisa Leslie Award (Center), in addition to the Men's Starting Five.
