WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Wake Forest senior Dearica Hamby was named to the John R. Wooden Award Women's Midseason Top 20, it was announced today.
The list is comprised of 20 student-athletes who are the front-runners for college basketball's most prestigious individual honor at roughly the halfway point of the 2014-15 season. The list is chosen by a poll of national college women's college basketball media members.
