Dyaisha Fair, former AGR Player of the Year and Edison standout, on NCAA award watchlist

Accolades continue to pour in for Dyaisha Fair.

Fair was recently added to the Dawn Staley Award Later Season Watch List. The annual award honors the best guard in women's Division I college basketball.

A Syracuse senior, Fair surpassed 2,500 career points Feb. 5 to become only the second active D-I player to do so. Her eight 3-pointers tied an SU record during a season-high 36-point performance in a win against Virginia. She then scored 23 points in an upset win versus No. 14 North Carolina. Fair's 20.2 points per game ranks 18th in Division I.

Fair, Edison Tech's 2019 All-Greater Rochester Player of the Year, is also one of two Atlantic Coast Conference players named a Nancy Lieberman Award top-10 finalist. The Syracuse Orange are 16-10 overall (7-8 ACC) and may need a conference tournament run to better secure an NCAA Tournament berth.
