The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced Tuesday that senior guard Niya Johnson is once again a finalist for the Nancy Lieberman Award.
For the sixteenth year, the top point guard in the NCAA Women’s Division I is recognized with the award, and this year’s winner will be announced during the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Award Show in Indianapolis, Indiana, during the Women’s Final Four.
Joining Johnson as finalists are Connecticut senior Moriah Jefferson, Notre Dame junior Lindsay Allen, Ohio State sophomore Kelsey Mitchell, and Washington junior Kelsey Plum.
With all five players making their mark on the court for their team, all are worthy of receiving the award.
