CLEVELAND, Ohio — University of Iowa senior guard, Caitlin Clark, was named the winner of the Nancy Lieberman Point Guard of the Year Award it was announced during last night’s matchup. Clark also won the award last season and was a finalist in her sophomore and freshman year.
Clark was chosen as the winner of the award by a poll of national college basketball experts that recognizes the top point guard in women’s NCAA Division I college basketball based on their performances during the 2023-24 season.
The most dominant player in women’s college basketball recently led the Hawkeyes to their second straight Final Four leading the nation in assists (9.0 assists per game) and in scoring (31.7 points per game). She became the first player to finish No. 1 in both categories in back-to-back seasons. Clark owns a career 3,900+ points and she recently became the first Division-I player to record 1,000+ points in back-to-back seasons. She is also the only player in NCAA DI men’s or women’s basketball history to lead her conference in scoring and assists in four consecutive seasons.
In its 25th year, the award recognizes the top point guard in NCAA Division I women’s college basketball. To be considered for this prestigious award, candidates must exhibit the floor leadership, playmaking, and ball-handling skills of Class of 1996 Hall-of-Famer Nancy Lieberman.
