Junior guard Angel Goodrich has carried the women’s basketball team this season. In Tuesday night’s game at Texas Tech, she broke Kansas’ single-season assist record, reaching 208 for the season. Goodrich is a finalist for the Nancy Lieberman Award, which honors the top point guard in Division 1 women’s basketball.

Voters focus on floor leadership, play-making and ball-handling skills, all of which were qualities of Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman during her career.

Goodrich is a second-year captain and she ranks second in the nation with 7.7 assists per game. She also adds 12.5 points and 3.7 rebounds per game.

She is one of eight finalists for the award, which is voted on by sports writers across the country and will be announced during Final Four weekend. Fellow Big 12 athlete Odyssey Sims, of Baylor, made the list. Goodrich and Sims will play at 6:30 on Friday night when the Jayhawks host the Baylor Bears.
