Main article: Honda Sports Award

The Honda Sports Award for basketball is presented annually to the best women's college basketball player, as selected by a panel of more than 1,000 NCAA administrators. The award was first presented following the 1976–77 season.[1][2] Four nominees are chosen annually by a panel of coaches representing the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), and the winner is chosen by the votes of administrators from every NCAA member institution, with each institution having one vote.[3]

Thirty-one women's college basketball players have received the Honda Sports Award for basketball in the 41 seasons it has been presented. Nine players have won the award multiple times.
