Lauren Heard of TCU on Nancy Lieberman Award Watch List
TCU guard Lauren Heard is the only Big 12 players selected to the Nancy Lieberman Point Guard of the Year Award watch list released on Monday.
Heard, a super senior for the Horned Frogs, is coming off a season in which she was named All-Big 12 First Team and Big 12 All-Defensive Team. She led the Horned Frogs in points (2nd, 21.2), rebounds (9th, 7.1), assists (3rd, 4.8) and steals (1st, 2.6). She set TCU’s single-game steals record with 11 against Oklahoma last season. Her 21.2 points per game last season was a single-season TCU record, and she holds the all-time record for most made free throws.
The Lieberman Point Guard of the Year Award is named after the Hall of Fame guard, who went blazed a trail for women’s basketball as the first woman to play in a men’s professional league when she joined the Springfield Fame in the USBL in 1986. She had a stellar career at Old Dominion, where she led the Lady Monarchs to a 125-15 record, 1 WNIT Title and back to back National Championships in 1979 and 1980.
