SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Senior guard Sara Scalia has been named one of 20 players to the 2024 Ann Meyers Drysdale Award preseason watch list, announced by the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame and the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) on Tuesday.
Named after the first player, male or female, named to an All-America Team in four straight college seasons, the annual award in its sixth year recognizes the top shooting guard in women's NCAA Division I college basketball. To be considered for this prestigious award, candidates must exhibit the tenacity and scoring prowess of Class of 1993 Hall of Famer Ann Meyers.
Scalia returns for her final season with the Hoosiers, after playing in all 32 games in 2022-23 where she also made 14 starts. The Stillwater, Minn. native averaged 9.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists per games where she was third on the team with 53 triples last season. She was named to the All-Big Ten honorable mention squad a year ago and is a four-time All-Big Ten selection in her career.
She shot 34.4 percent from long range and had multiple 3-pointers on 15 occasions while also turning in the team's best free throw percentage with a 91.2 clip at the charity stripe. Scalia was also named to the Ann Meyers Drysdale Award preseason watch list in 2022-23.
