Video announcement:
ATLANTA (April 2, 2020) – Sabrina Ionescu, of The University of Oregon, has been awarded the 2020 Wade Trophy and headlines the 2020 WBCA NCAA Division I Coaches’ All-America team, announced today by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association announced this evening.
The prestigious Wade Trophy, regarded as "The Heisman of Women's Basketball,” is presented annually to the NCAA Division I Player of the Year by the WBCA.
Ionescu, the 2019 Wade Trophy recipient, became the first player in men’s or women’s college basketball history to record 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 1,000 assists in her career. She earned her third consecutive Pac-12 Player of the Year honor and matched her single-season record eight triple-doubles. Ionescu finishes her college career as the NCAA’s all-time leader in triple-doubles and No. 4 in career assists. She was named Player of the Year by the USBWA and ESPN.com and is a finalist for the Citizen Naismith Trophy and Nancy Lieberman Award, which she has won the last two years.
Ionescu joins Lieberman, Seimone Augustus, Brittney Griner, Breanna Stewart and Maya Moore as two-time Wade Trophy winners. Moore is the award’s only three-time recipient.
“Congratulations to Sabrina Ionescu on winning women’s basketball’s highest player honor, the Wade Trophy, for the second straight year and to the entire 2020 WBCA NCAA Division I Coaches’ All-America team,” said WBCA Executive Director Danielle M. Donehew. “Sabrina had another historic season at Oregon and elevated her game and, in so doing, our sport as well. She is an incredibly talented student-athlete, leader and ambassador for women’s basketball. Her mastery of so many skills coupled with her tremendous determination to succeed has excited the national media and fans alike, and has inspired the next generation of student-athletes.”
The Wade Trophy — now in its 43rd year — is the oldest and most prestigious national player of the year award in college women’s basketball. It is named in honor of the late, legendary Delta State University head coach Lily Margaret Wade, who won three consecutive national championships with the Lady Statesmen. First awarded in 1978 by the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD), now known as SHAPE America, the The Wade Trophy has been presented by WBCA to the best player in NCAA Division I women’s college basketball since 2001.
