Six added to Wade Watch List at midseason

The WBCA NCAA Division I Coaches’ All-America Selection Committee added six additional student-athletes to the “Wade Watch” list of candidates for the 2019 Wade Trophy. Players added to the preseason list: Bridget Carleton of Iowa State, Anriel Howard of Mississippi State, Kiara Leslie of North Carolina State, Beatrice Mompremier of Miami, Satou Sabally of Oregon and Destiny Slocum of Oregon State.

The WBCA will announce the four finalists for the honor in mid-March. The winner of the 2019 Wade Trophy will be announced April 4 in Tampa Bay, Florida, the site of the 2019 WBCA Convention and NCAA Women’s Final Four.

The Wade Trophy has been presented to the WBCA NCAA Division I National Player of the Year since 2001. Now in its 42nd year, the award is named in honor of the late, legendary Delta State University head coach Lily Margaret Wade, who won three consecutive national championships with the Lady Statesmen.
