Mikesell Named to Drysdale Award Watch List

EUGENE, Ore. – University of Oregon Junior Taylor Mikesell has been named to the preseason watch list for the 2021 Ann Meyers Drysdale Award – presented annually to the nation’s top shooting guard – the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and Women’s Basketball Coaches Association announced on Tuesday.

Mikesell is entering her first year with the Oregon women’s basketball team after playing the last two seasons at Maryland. One of the nation’s most lethal outside shooters, Mikesell averaged 12.3 points per game and shot 41.8 percent from three-point range while starting 66 straight games for the Terrapins.

The Massillon, Ohio, native was the Big Ten freshman of the year in 2018-19 after averaging 13.4 points per game, and she followed that up with 11.2 points per game last season as a sophomore.

Mikesell ranked in the top 25 in the nation in three-point percentage in each of her two seasons at Maryland, shooting 41.1 percent as a freshman and 42.5 percent as a sophomore. Her 95 made three-pointers as a freshman are a Maryland single-season record for both men and women.

A national committee of top college basketball personnel determined the watch list of 20 candidates. Fans are encouraged to participate in Fan Voting presented by Dell Technologies in each of the three rounds. In early February, the watch list of 20 players for the 2021 Ann Meyers Drysdale Shooting Guard of the Year Award will be narrowed to just 10. In early March, five finalists will be presented to Ms. Meyers Drysdale and the Hall of Fame’s selection committee.
