ST. LOUIS -- The accolades keep rolling in for University of Delaware senior Elena Delle Donne (at right) as she was named Tuesday as one of 20 outstanding women's basketball players for the U.S. Basketball Writers Association 2013 Ann Meyers Drysdale Midseason Watch List.
The award is to be presented to the women's national player of the year by its namesake at the USBWA women's awards press conference April 7 prior to the start of the NCAA Women's Final Four semifinals.
