Alarie Named To 2020 McClain Award Preseason Watch List

PRINCETON, N.J. – Bella Alarie was named one of 20 players to the 2020 Katrina McClain Award preseason watch list, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and Women's Basketball Coaches' Association announced.

This list will be narrowed down to 10 in mid-February and then five finalists will be selected in March that will be presented to Katrina McClain and the selection committee. New to this program, the winner of this award will be presented at the sixth annual ESPN College Basketball Awards Show live from Los Angeles, Calif., on Friday, April 10th.

Throughout this whole process, the list will be fluid and players will have the ability to play themselves on or off our list until the final 5 finalists are announced. Starting on Friday, October 25, fans will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite players in each of the three rounds. The top 10 player selections from the fan vote will get an additional vote towards making the next round.

The two-time Ivy Player of the Year was named a Women's Basketball Coaches' Association (WBCA) Honorable Mention All-American after the Tigers won their second straight Ivy League regular season and Tournament title last year. She is just the third Tiger to ever reach that milestone, but the first to do so after her junior campaign. The Bethesda, Md., native broke the team's single-season record for points per game (22.8) while her 210 field goals, 525 points, 65 blocks were the second most, her 408 field goal attempts were fourth highest and 10.6 rebounds were sixth. She became the first player since Ellen DeVoe in 1984-85 to average a double-double for an entire campaign.

In the summer, Alarie helped her country earn a silver medal at the Pan American Games. She also led her team make the semifinals at the 3x3 stop in Italy, the quarterfinals in China and the semifinals at the national event in Las Vegas.
