Huff Earns Top 10 Spot On Katrina McClain Award Watch List
2/14/2019 10:50 AM | Women's Basketball
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Senior power forward Megan Huff named one of 10 remaining candidates for the 2019 Katrina McClain Award, given to the top power forward in women's NCAA Division I college basketball.
The award, which is in its second year, is named after two-time All-American and 1987 National Player of the Year Katrina McClain. Huff, Ruthy Hebard from Oregon and Alanna Smith from Stanford are representing the Pac-12 with the other seven athletes coming from the Big 12, ACC, Missouri Valley, SEC, Mid-American, American and Ivy League conferences all vying to become part of the 2019 Naismith Starting 5.
A national committee comprising top college basketball personnel determined the watch list of 20 candidates in October, which has now been narrowed to just 10. In March, five finalists will be presented to Ms. McClain-Pittman and the Hall of Fame's selection committee. Fans will also have the opportunity to vote for Huff at www.hoophallawards.com.
The winner of the 2019 Katrina McClain Power Forward Award will be revealed in partnership with the WBCA at the Women's Final Four in Tampa, Fla. For more information and the latest updates on the 2019 Katrina McClain Award, head to www.hoophallawards.com or follow @hoophall on Twitter and Instagram.
Earlier this week, Huff was also named to the Naismith Trophy Midseason Team and is one of 30 student-athletes still in the running for the prestigious national player of the year award. She is leading the Utes in scoring, averaging 20.2 points per game and ranks second in the Pac-12 with 9.9 rebounds per game.
The Federal Way, Wash. native has proved she is dangerous inside and out, ranking in the top-25 nationally in double doubles, field goals made and points per game. She has scored in double digits in all 23 games and has reached the 20-point mark in 12 games, also racking up 14 double doubles.
The senior has been a force in the Pac-12 this season no matter who the Utes have played, even dropping a career-high 38 points against top-five ranked Oregon. The 38 points ranks second all-time in school history and is the second-most points scored in a game by a Pac-12 player this season.
