HOPEWELL, N.J. – South Dakota State’s Myah Selland has been named to the 2022 Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year Watch List.
Selland, a finalist for the award in 2021, was one of 25 women named to the 2022 watch list. She was picked as the Summit League Preseason Player of the Year earlier this month.
Selland led the Summit last season with 19.2 points per game and ranked third in assists per game (3.8), field goal percentage (.515) and assist/turnover ratio (1/5) on her way to WBCA Honorable Mention All-America accolades. She scored 15-plus points in 19 games and 20-plus points on six occasions.
To be eligible for this award, players must compete in one of the 26 conferences deemed to be “mid-major.” The list will be narrowed to 15 players in January, 10 semifinalists in February and five finalists in early March with the winner being named in late March.
The Jackrabbits are receiving votes in the Associated Press preseason poll and will open the season hosting Green Bay November 9 at Frost Arena.
