Georgia Southern senior guard/forward Terren Ward has earned a spot on the 2024 Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year Midseason Watch List, announced this week by Her Hoop Stats.
Ward currently ranks fifth in NCAA Division I in scoring, averaging 23.2 points per game, and her 13 double-doubles this season rank second in the nation. The Jesup, Ga., native is a two-time All-Sun Belt honoree, the 2021 Sun Belt Freshman of the Year and the 2023 Georgia Women's College Player of the Year.
Ward is one of 15 players named to the midseason watch list and one of two players from the Sun Belt Conference, joining Arkansas State's Izzy Higginbottom.
The 10 semifinalists for the award will be announced in February, followed by the five finalists announced in early March. The winner will be announced in conjunction with the NCAA Women's Basketball Final Four.
