Baylor junior Lauren Cox was selected as one of 10 candidates for the 2019 Katrina McClain Award, announced by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and Women’s Basketball Coaches Association.

Named after the two-time All-American and 1987 National Player of the Year, the annual award in its second year recognizes the top power forwards in women’s NCAA Division I college basketball.

A national committee comprising top college basketball personnel determined the watch list of 20 candidates in October, which has now been narrowed to just 10. In March, five finalists will be presented to Ms. McClain-Pittman and the Hall of Fame’s selection committee. Fans will also have the opportunity to vote for their favorite finalist at www.hoophallawards.com.

The winner of the 2019 Katrina McClain Power Forward Award will be revealed in partnership with the WBCA during the 2019 Women’s Final Four in Tampa, Florida.
