SPRINGFIELD, Mass.—Marquette University senior forward Erika Davenport is one of 20 candidates for the 2019 Cheryl Miller Award Watch List, the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) announced on Wednesday. The annual award, in its second year, recognizes the top small forwards in women's NCAA Division I college basketball.
Davenport was a second-straight All-BIG EAST second team selection in the 2017-18 campaign. She averaged just shy of a double-double (12.1 PPG, 9.3 RPG) thanks to the fourth-best field goal percentage in the BIG EAST with a 52.3 percent mark.
The Selection Committee for the Cheryl Miller Award is composed of top women's college basketball personnel including media members, head coaches, sports information directors and Hall of Famers. By mid-February, the watch list of 20 players for the 2019 Cheryl Miller Award will be narrowed to just 10. In March, five finalists will be presented to Ms. Miller and the Hall of Fame's selection committee. Fans will also have the opportunity to vote for their favorite finalist at www.hoophallawards.com.
The winner of the 2019 Cheryl Miller Small Forward Award will be revealed on an ESPN platform during the 2019 Women's Final Four in Tampa, Florida. Additional awards being presented and recognized at the WBCA Convention include the Nancy Lieberman Point Guard Award, the Ann Meyers Drysdale Shooting Guard Award, the Katrina McClain Power Forward Award, and the Lisa Leslie Center Award. Also being awarded is the Wade Trophy, the sport's oldest and most prestigious national player of the year award which is presented annually by the WBCA's community of coaches to the best player in college women's basketball.
