ST. LOUIS -- Temple women's basketball senior Feyonda Fitzgerald joined an elite group of players on Tuesday, being named to the U.S. Basketball Writers Association mid-season watch list for the Ann Meyers Drysdale Women's National Player of the Year Award.

Already a two-time All-Conference selection, Fitzgerald is having her best season yet in cherry and white. The guard averages 18.4 points, 7.5 assists, and 3.8 rebounds per game. Nationally, her assists per game number ranks her fifth in all of Division I, while her assist-to-turnover ratio (2.93) ranks her ninth. Earlier this season, Fitzgerald was named the ESPNW National Player of the Week, after leading the Owls to wins over #16/17 DePaul and Rutgers.
