HOPEWELL, N.J. — Returning University of Tulsa All-American Delanie Crawford was named to the 2025 Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year Award Watch list, presented by Her Hoop Stats Wednesday. She is the first Golden Hurricane hooper to represent Tulsa on any Hammon Award watch list.
A senior guard from Piedmont, Okla., Crawford is coming off a tremendous 2023-24 season where she started in all 35 games and averaged 19.0 points (665), 5.7 rebounds (201), 2.7 assists (95) and 1.1 steals (39) per contest. She finished 33 games with 10 or more points, 15 games over 20 points, and three games scoring over 30. On defense, she added five double-figure rebounding contests to earn five double-doubles.
By the end of last year, Crawford had set the program record for most three-point buckets in a season with 99, third for total points (665) and field goals made (219) and fourth for points per game (19.0).
Crawford's accolades began to pile up as she dominated the court week in and week out a year ago. She was named Tulsa's fourth all-time WBCA Coaches' All-American, for which she took home Honorable Mention status and was a Region 3 finalist. In The American, she was named the league's Most Improved Player of the Year and Second Team All-Conference following six AAC weekly honor roll awards and one Player of the Week honor.

"Delanie Crawford's hard work and dedication truly deserve this recognition," Head Coach Angie Nelpsaid. "Her commitment not only elevates her own performance but also inspires our team to strive for excellence. We're grateful to see her accomplishments acknowledged with such a prestigious watch list, and this recognition is an honor for our entire team."
The Golden Hurricane women will start their season at home Nov. 6 in the Donald W. Reynolds Center against Arkansas-Pine Bluff. 2024-25 tip-off times will be announced next week.
