IRVING, Texas - UTSA redshirt-senior forward Jordyn Jenkins and South Florida graduate guard Sammie Puisis have been selected to the Ann Meyers Drsydale Award Midsesaon Watch list, announced by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association on Monday. The list features 50 standout women's basketball players from across the country.

The Ann Meyers Drysdale Award is presented annually to the women's national player of the year by the USBWA. Named for the legendary UCLA guard, the award was first presented in the 1987-88 season and formally named in Meyers Drysdale's honor in the 2011-12 season. Ann Meyers Drysdale played at UCLA from 1974-78, which pre-dates the USBWA All-America selections. She was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1993 and the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 1999.

Jenkins has led UTSA to their best start in program history and currently has the Roadrunners in first place in The American. She leads the league in scoring with 18.8 points per game, while adding 7.2 rebounds per game.

Puisis returns to the watchlist after being named to it two seasons ago.  Puisis has the Bulls one game back of first place in The American. The graduate guard is once again near the top of the nation in three-points, having made the fifth most behind the arc this season with 67.

The Ann Meyers Drysdale Award winner is to be announced at the NCAA Women's Final Four in Tampa, from April 4-6. The formal presentation of the trophy will follow at the annual USBWA Awards Luncheon hosted by the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis.
