    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Matt Schiffman (312-729-3672) GATORADE® NATIONAL GIRLS BASKETBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR: KATIE LOU SAMUELSON Two-time WNBA All-Star Elena Delle Donne Surprises Standout with Elite Honor Santa Ana, Calif. (March 19, 2015) – In its 30th year of honoring the nation’s best high school athletes, The Gatorade Company, in collaboration with USA TODAY High School Sports, today announced Katie Lou Samuelson of Mater Dei High School (Santa Ana, Calif.) as its 2014-15 Gatorade National Girls Basketball Player of the Year. Samuelson was surprised with the news at school by two-time WNBA All-Star and former three-time Gatorade Delaware Girls Basketball Player of the Year Elena Delle Donne. “It was exciting for me to be able to surprise Katie Lou with the Gatorade National Basketball Player of the Year award, especially because she is such a deserving winner,” Delle Donne said. “Katie Lou is a well-rounded individual who has already accomplished so much on and off the court, so it's an honor for me to welcome her into the prestigious Gatorade Player of the Year family.” The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the court, distinguishes Samuelson as the nation’s best high school girls basketball player. A national advisory panel comprised of sport-specific experts and sports journalists helped select Samuelson from nearly 440,000 high school girls basketball players nationwide. Samuelson is now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade Female High School Athlete of the Year award, to be presented at a special ceremony prior to The ESPY Awards in July.

The prestigious award, regarded as "The Heisman of Women's Basketball," is presented annually to the NCAA® Division I Player of the Year by the National Association of Girls and Women in Sport (NAGWS) and the WBCA. The 25-member preseason list is composed of top NCAA Division I student-athletes from 17 institutions and seven conferences who best embody Wade's spirit. A committee of coaches, administrators and media from across the United States compiled the list using the following criteria: game and season statistics, leadership, character, effect on their team and overall playing ability. Representing Connecticut on the 2011-12 "Wade Watch" list are Stefanie Dolson, Bria Hartley and Tiffany Hayes. Notre Dame is represented by Skylar Diggins, Natalie Novosel and Devereaux Peters.
