STILLWATER, Okla. – Oklahoma State's Lior Garzon has been named to the 20-player watch list for the 2024 Cheryl Miller Award it was announced today by the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame and the Women's Basketball Coaches Association.
Named after the three-time Naismith Player of the Year and Class of 1995 Hall of Famer, the annual award, in its seventh year, recognizes the top small forwards in women's NCAA Division I college basketball. A national committee of top college basketball personnel determined the watch list of 20 candidates.
The Cowgirl senior saw action in 33 games, making three starts, a year ago while helping OSU reach the NCAA Tournament.
A native of Ra'anana, Israel, Garzon set the school's single-season mark with her 80 made 3-pointers. The 6-1 forward finished the year ranked in the top 25 nationally in 3-point field-goal percentage at 41 percent.
The Cowgirl sharpshooter finished the year as the squad's second-leading scorer at 10.8 points per game and became the first Cowgirl to average double figures in a reserve role since Toni Young in 2011-12.
Fans are encouraged to participate in fan voting in each of the three rounds starting Friday, October 20. In late January, the watch list of 20 players for the 2024 Cheryl Miller Award will be narrowed to 10 and then in late February to just five. In March the five finalists will be presented to Miller and the Hall of Fame's selection committee, where a winner will be selected.
