SPRINGFIELD, MA – Sophomore Shyanne Sellers of the 17th-ranked Maryland women's basketball team is one of 20 watch-list candidates for the Cheryl Miller Award, an annual honor recognizing the top small forward in women's NCAA Division I college basketball.
Sellers, the 2022 Big Ten Sixth Player of the Year, is one of the top returners for the Terrapins. She saw action in all 32 games last year, starting in 10, and averaged 7.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 26.5 minutes per game as a rookie.
Sellers led the Terps with 56 steals on the season and was also named to the five-member All-Big Ten Freshman Team.
Sellers' teammate, senior Diamond Miller, was named a candidate for the Ann Meyers Drysdale Award for the nation's top shooting guard, on Monday.
Fans are encouraged to participate in Fan Voting, presented by Dell Technologies, in each of the three rounds starting Friday, October 21. In late January, the watch list of 20 players for the 2023 Cheryl Miller Award will be narrowed to 10 and then in late February to just five. In March the five finalists will be presented to Miller and the Hall of Fame's selection committee where a winner will be selected.
The winner of the 2023 Cheryl Miller Award will be presented on a to be determined date, along with the other four members of the Women's Starting Five. Additional awards being presented include the Nancy Lieberman Award (Point Guard), Ann Meyers Drysdale Award (Shooting Guard), Katrina McClain Award (Power Forward) and the Lisa Leslie Award (Center), in addition to the Men's Starting Five.

The Terrapins, who are ranked No. 17 in the AP Preseason poll, were picked to finish fourth in the Big Ten by both the league's head coaches and media panel. Both groups picked Iowa to win the conference.
The Terrapins will host two of last year's Final Four teams, as they play one of the toughest schedules in the country. Their out of conference schedule is highlighted by home matchups with defending national champion No. 1 South Carolina and No. 6 Connecticut, as well as road trips to No. 18 Baylor and No. 9 Notre Dame.
