Satou Sabally was awarded the Tom Hansen Conference Medal by the Pac-12 on Thursday.
EUGENE, Ore. — Forward Satou Sabally of the Oregon women's basketball team is one of two UO recipients of the Pac-12's Tom Hansen Conference Medal for 2019-20, along with Justin Herbert from the football team.
Conference medals have been awarded every year since 1960-61, to the outstanding male and female graduating student-athletes from each conference member school based on scholarship, athletics and leadership. They were renamed in 2009 to honor former conference commissioner Tom Hansen.
Sabally won the Cheryl Miller Award as the outstanding small forward in women's college basketball for 2019-20, and was a first-team WBCA all-American. She averaged 16.2 points and 6.9 rebounds per game to help the Ducks win the Pac-12's regular-season and conference tournament titles.
Though a junior athletically in 2019-20, Sabally is on track to graduate this year with a degree in General Social Sciences: Crime, Law, and Society. She is pursuing a minor in Legal Studies and carries a 3.46 grade-point average.
After declaring for the WNBA draft as a junior, Sabally was taken with the No. 2 overall pick, by the Dallas Wings. She joined top overall pick Sabrina Ionescu and No. 8 pick Ruthy Hebard as the seventh trio of college teammates ever to be selected in the top 10 of the league's draft.
