Ashley Joens leads Cheryl Miller Award Watch List
Iowa State forward Ashley Joens is one of three Big 12 players selected to the Cheryl Miller Small Forward of the Year Award watch list released on Wednesday.
Oklahoma’s Madi Williams and Texas Tech’s Vivian Gray also made the list.
Joens, a second-team All-American last season, is also the defending Miller Award winner. Last season she also earned All-Big 12 First-Team honors after averaging a school-record 24.2 points per game. She also averaged 9.5 rebounds per game and shot a career-best 46.3 percent from the field. She led the Big 12 in scoring for the second straight season.
Williams was an All-Big 12 First-Team selection a season ago after averaging 20 points per game for the Sooners. She also averaged 5.1 rebounds per game and shot nearly 50 percent from the floor. She was the third-leading scorer in the Big 12 last season.
Gray was a Miller Award Top 10 finalist last season and First-Team All-Big 12. She also earned WBCA Coaches all-America Honorable Mention honors after averaging 19.8 points on 43.8 percent field goal shooting, 8.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.4 steals per game.
