The Becky Hammon Award presented by Her Hoop Stats recognizes the nation’s best mid-major player in women’s basketball. The award is named for South Dakota basketball legend Becky Hammon, who became the first female full-time coach in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs in 2014. Hammon spent 16 years playing in the WNBA and her last eight with the San Antonio Stars, where her number was retired in 2016.
Duffy and Hammon share the same hometown in Rapid City, South Dakota.
The 2020 Summit League Preseason Player of the Year, Duffy’s senior campaign has her averaging more than 17 points, six rebounds and five assists per game.
