DALLAS — For the second straight year, University of Iowa junior Caitlin Clark has been named the Nancy Lieberman Point Guard of the Year, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced on Saturday.

The national award, which is presented annually to the best point guard in women’s basketball, is based on floor leadership, playmaking and ball-handling skills.

The consensus National Player of the Year is the sixth player since the inception of the award in 2000 to win the honor multiple times (Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Skylar Diggins, Moriah Jefferson and Sabrina Ionescu).
