INDIANAPOLIS – As she prepares for her "super" senior season, the accolades continue to roll in for Bradley Women's Basketball guard Gabi Haack (Elk Grove, MN/Elk Grove HS), who has been nominated for the 2021 NCAA Woman of the Year award by the Missouri Valley Conference.

Rooted in Title IX and directed by the NCAA Committee on Women's Athletics, the NCAA Woman of the Year program celebrates the accomplishments of female college athletes across all three NCAA divisions. One of 152 conference-level honorees, Haack's nomination will be forwarded to the NCAA Woman of the Year Selection Committee, which will announce the top 10 honorees in each of the three NCAA divisions in September. The committee will further determine the three finalists in each division and then select the 2021 NCAA Woman of the Year from that pool of nine finalists.

Haack's list of recognition for her combined excellence on the court and in the classroom is extensive, but the highlights include: first three-time All-MVC first-team selection in program history, 2021 MVC Women's Basketball Championship Most Outstanding Player, 2021 Senior CLASS Award candidate, 2021 MVC Women's Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year, CoSIDA Academic All-District V first team, 2021 Bradley Athletics Charles Orsborn Award and 2021 MVC Dr. Charlotte West Award.

Already Bradley's all-time leader with 283 career 3-point field goals, Haack will enter the 2021-22 season second on The Valley's all-time list and she is the only active women's basketball student-athlete to combine at least 700 career rebounds with at least 275 triples (first in MVC history). The only player in Valley history to drain at least 60 3-point field goals in four different seasons, Haack also is the league's active career scoring leader and her 1,640 career points leaves her just 40 points shy of breaking Karen Anderson's program-record of 1,679 points from 1979-83.

The Valley's second-leading scorer during the 2020-21 season at 16.5 points per game, she averaged 21.0 ppg and shot 41.7 percent (10-23) from 3-point range during the 2021 MVC Women's Basketball Championship while leading the Braves to their first-ever MVC title and the automatic bid for the program's first appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

Earlier this summer, Haack was selected the 2021 female recipient of the MVC Dr. Charlotte West Award, which recognizes the top all-around student-athlete in the conference in the areas of academic achievement, athletics excellence and service and leadership. An elementary education major boasting a 3.81 cumulative grade point average, Haack is a three-time MVC Scholar-Athlete selection who also earned the MVC Good Neighbor Award in the winter of 2020.
