PRINCETON, N.J. – Bella Alarie has been named to another watch list as the Ann Meyers Drysdale Award released its first watch list of the season, the U.S. Basketball Writers' Association announced today.

The 2019-20 Ann Meyers Drysdale Award winner will be presented at the 2020 NCAA Women's Final Four in New Orleans, along with the Tamika Catchings Award honoring the women's freshman player of the year. The winner will also be honored at the annual USBWA Awards Luncheon at the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis on Mon., April 13, 2020.

The two-time Ivy Player of the Year has seen action in five games this season, posting 15.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.2 blocks per game.

So far, Alarie has been named to five watch/preseason lists. Those lists, featuring some of the most prestigious awards, include the "Wade Watch", Women's Citizen's Naismith Trophy, Wooden and McClain Awards.

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 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.
