Drexel University women’s basketball guard Keishana Washington has been named one of the top-10 candidates for the 2023 Ann Meyers Drysdale Award.

The announcement was made Tuesday by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and Women’s Basketball Coaches Association.

Washington, the CAA Preseason Player of the Year, has more than arrived on the national stage. 

Earlier this month, the Pickering, Ontario, Canada, native was named to Ann Meyers Drysdale National Player of the Year Watch List by the United States Basketball Writers Association.

A week later, she was selected for the Mid-Season Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year Award Watch List. 

In December, Washington was honored as the USBWA National Player of the Week for the week of Dec. 12-18.

The graduate guard ranks third in the NCAA, scoring 26.2 points per game, and is fourth with 524 total points. 

Last week, Washington became the ninth player in CAA history to eclipse 2,000 career points and set a Drexel record with her 54th consecutive game in double figures. 

Additionally, she has scored at least 20 points in 15 games this season, including 30 or more seven times.

This marks the fifth season of the Ann Meyers Drysdale Award. It is named after the four-time All-American and 1999 inductee into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, and it's awarded annually to the top shooting guard in NCAA women’s basketball. 

A national committee of top college basketball personnel determined the watch list of 20 candidates in November, which has been narrowed to 10. 

This list will be narrowed down to five players in late February, and the the finalists will be selected in late March. Those names will be presented to Nancy Lieberman and the selection committee. The award will be presented on a to-be-determined date.

College basketball fans are encouraged to participate in Fan Voting presented by Dell Technologies in each of the three rounds. 

Fan Voting presented by Dell Technologies will start on Feb. 3. 

Fans will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite players. The top 5 player selections on the fan vote will get an additional vote toward making the next round.

Drexel is the only team in the country with a player in the top 10 for both the Ann Meyers Drysdale Shooting Guard of the Year and Nancy Lieberman Point Guard of the Year awards. 

Maura Hendrixson was announced Monday as a top-10 candidate for the Nancy Lieberman award .
