AMES, Iowa – For the second-straight year, Iowa State’s Ashley Joens will be on the National Ballot for the Wooden Award, which the Los Angeles Athletic Club announced on Saturday. Joens is one of 15 players that will appear on the ballot for the trophy given to college basketball’s best player, and will be eligible for the Wooden Award All-American Team.
To make the Wooden Award National Ballot, players must excel both in and out of basketball, and Joens does so in all areas.
On the court, Joens leads the Big 12 and ranks 14th nationally with her 21.0 points per game, while her 9.4 rebounds per game is third in the conference. She has 12 double-doubles on the season. Joens has saved her best basketball for the stretch run, as over ISU’s last five games she is averaging 25.2 points and 10.6 rebounds per game with three double-doubles.
Off the court, Joens received her Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from Iowa State in December and is currently enrolled in the Education Master’s Program at ISU. She is a three-time Academic All-Big 12 honoree. She did her student-teaching over the summer and has been involved with multiple community service events and opportunities through Iowa State.
