Editor: The following is part of a release from herhoopstats.com.
(Hopewell, NJ) — We are proud to announce the 15-player midseason watch list for the 2025 Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year Award presented by Her Hoop Stats. The Becky Hammon Award was first given out in 2020, with South Dakota’s Ciara Duffy being named the inaugural winner. Gonzaga’s Yvonne Ejim won the most recent award in 2024.
This year’s midseason list includes representatives from 15 teams and 10 conferences. Five conferences – the A-10, MEAC, Mountain West, Missouri Valley and Summit League – placed two players on the watch list.
Editor: The Missouri Valley Conference’s Katie Dinnebier and Maya McDermott are part of this midseason watch list. Northern Iowa’s McDermott (20.7 ppg) and Drake’s Dinnebier (20.5) are dominating the Valley’s statistical categories. While Dinnebier leads the league in assists and steals, McDermott is the top free throw shooter and tops in assist/turnover ratio.
Dinnebier is a six-time recipient of the Valley’s ‘Player of the Week‘ award.
Editor: Our only question is where is Eastern Illinois’ Macy McGlone? The Panther forward is averaging 17.9 points and 10.3 rebounds and has an Ohio Valley Conference leading 27 blocked shots.

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry
Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops
Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi
Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
Fun to listen to @MLBLarry on the @SIU_Basketball/@BelmontMBB game tonight. Good job brother. #FatherHarry
