Robinson Adds Naismith Award, ESPNW Top-25 to Preseason Accolades

ATHENS, Ga. - Georgia Lady Bulldog basketball senior forward Caliya Robinson has been named to the 2018-19 Naismith Award Watch List and the ESPNW top-25, both organizations announced on Monday. 

Robinson adds these two accolades to her long list of preseason honors. The Marietta, Georgia native is also on the Wooden Award Watch List (top-30 players nationally), the Katrina McClain Award Watch List (nation's top power forward) and was named preseason All-SEC by media and coaches. 

The 6-foot-3 forward leads the Lady Bulldogs in both scoring and rebounding through two games this season. She is averaging 14.0 ppg to go along with 8.5 rpg. 

Robinson is on track to become Georgia's all-time blocked shots leader and needs just 76 to move past Tawana McDonald's school record of 297 blocks. Robinson entered her senior season as the only returning SEC player to rank in the top-20 in points, rebounds, blocks and steals last year. 

Georgia's lone senior is with the team as they head to Los Angeles to take on UCLA at Pauley Pavilion this Wednesday at 11 a.m. PT/2 p.m. ET.
