University of Arkansas senior guard Chelsea Dungee is one of 15 players to earn a spot on the women’s Wooden Award national ballot.

The Wooden Award National Advisory Board announced the ballot Saturday. The Wooden Award is given to the most outstanding college basketball player.

Dungee is averaging career highs in scoring (22.2 points per game), field goal percentage (42.7%) and three-point percentage (38.2%) this season for No. 13 Arkansas (19-8). She has scored at least 10 points in all 26 of her games in 2020-21, including a 37-point effort against Connecticut on Jan. 28 at Walton Arena in Fayetteville.

Voting will take place from March 16-23 and voters will take into consideration a player’s entire season of play as well as the opening rounds of the NCAA Tournament. The finalists for the Wooden Award will be announced March 26.
