Coming off a successful junior year campaign and winning Summit League Tournament MVP, senior center Hannah Sjerven received a nod to the 2021 Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year Watchlist.
Sjerven who is also a full time graduate student studying sports psychology finds new ways to excel in the classroom and on the court every year.
“I think it’s something I wasn’t expecting at all and it’s really cool, especially since Ciara (Duffy) got it last year,” Sjerven said. “It’s only the second year of the award and [Becky Hammon] is definitely a role model for anyone that plays women’s sports. Now she’s coaching in the NBA which not a lot of women get to do, so I am very honored to even be on the list.”
