The Women’s Sports Foundation has a list of nominees up for the 2017 Sportswoman of the Year Award—and one of them is one of the WNBA’s premier players.
The Minnesota Lynx’s Maya Moore, who is coming off winning her second All-Star Game MVP award, is among the nominees. Moore, of course, has won three championships with the Lynx, and if all goes according to plan in the Twin Cities, she will soon add a fourth ring to her collection.
Voting has since commenced today and lasts until the 27th of this month. The Women’s Sports Foundation names one recipient of the award from individual sports and one from team sports.
Other team sport nominees include Canadian curler Rachel Homan, hockey player Brianna Decker, and water polo’s Maggie Steffens. Individual sport nominees include swimmer Katie Ledecky and skier Mikaela Shiffrin.
The winner will be announced at the 38th Annual Salute to Women in Sports which will be held at the Cipriani Wall Street in Lower Manhattan. Boxer Claressa Shields and water polo’s Asleigh Johnson were bestowed with last year’s honors.
Voting is live! Make @MooreMaya the next @WomensSportsFdn Sportswoman of the Year! #SOY2017 https://t.co/DTW3flH7Ly
