HOPEWELL, N.J. – Drake junior Katie Dinnebier has earned national recognition on the 2024 Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year watch list. The Bulldog star is leading the MVC with 19.7 points per game to go along with 5.7 assists, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.9 steals per contest.
 
Dinnebier was named to the preseason watch list for the same award prior to the start of the 2023-24 campaign. She is one of 15 players on the updated midseason list that represent 14 teams from 10 leagues across Division I basketball.
 
The West Des Moines native is joined by Murray State's Katelyn Young as the only players from the Missouri Valley Conference.
 
This weekend, Dinnebier and the Bulldogs will be hosting Young and Murray State as well as the Belmont Bruins for their annual DSM Hometown Team Weekend.
