South Dakota junior guard Jaycee Bradley has been named to the Ann Meyers Drysdale Award Preseason Watch List.
The award, in its inaugural year, recognizes the top shooting guard in women’s NCAA Division I college basketball. The selection committee is comprised of top women’s college basketball personnel including media members, head coaches, sports information directors and WBCA Hall of Famers.
A native of Norfolk, Neb., Bradley returns as the Coyotes’ second-leading scorer and top 3-point shooter from last season. She ranked sixth nationally for 3-point percentage at a 45.3 percent clip. Bradley drained 86 threes to rank fourth on USD single-season charts for 3-pointers made.
Bradley’s sophomore campaign included four 20-point games and 23 double-figure games. Notable moments included earning Summit League Player of the Week after averaging 20 points and four rebounds while shooting 58.3 percent from the field in wins over Illinois and San Jose State. She scored a career-high 26 points at CSU Bakersfield and then knocked down seven 3s against Northern Illinois.
