Dana Evans Named ESPN and SI First Team All-American
March 12, 2021 | Women's Basketball
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - University of Louisville senior guard Dana Evans has been named a First Team All-American by both ESPN and Sports Illustrated.
She is one of five players on each All-American team, joined by UConn's Paige Bueckers, NC State's Elissa Cunane, Baylor's NaLysssa Smith and South Carolina's Aliyah Boston on ESPN and Bueckers, Boston, Michigan's Naz Hillmon and Texas' Charli Collier on Sports Illustrated.
"The one-time ACC sixth player of the year and now two-time conference player of the year, Evans saved her best season for her last. She led the ACC in scoring and earned a reputation as a fearless, clutch player with fourth-quarter heroics against the likes of Miami, Virginia Tech, Notre Dame and Wake Forest." – Charlie Creme, ESPN.com
"A two-time ACC Player of the Year (an award Louisville has dominated in recent seasons), Evans has had another dazzling season for the Cardinals. The senior guard is a dynamic scorer inside and outside the arc, and knocks down an outstanding 92.0% of her free throws. Evans is pouring in 20 points per game, while adding 4.2 assists and 1.3 steals. After Louisville lost a heartbreaker to NC State in the ACC tournament final, she's next hoping to carry her Cards program to its first national title and close her career full circle after being a contributor on Louisville's 2018 Final Four team as a freshman." –Sports Illustrated
