The other three finalists include Caitlin Clark (Iowa), Aliyah Boston (South Carolina) and Elizabeth Kitley (Virginia Tech).
 
The 2023 Jersey Mike's Naismith Trophy for the Women's Player of the Year will be awarded on Wednesday, March 29, at a press conference at Reunion Tower in Dallas during the Women's Final Four. 
 
Siegrist has led Villanova to a 30-6 overall record and a spot in the Sweet 16 by leading the country in scoring at 29.2 points per game to go with a 9.1 rebounds per contest average. She is currently shooting 51.9 percent from the field (395-of-761), 37.0 percent from three-point range (51-of-138) and 85.3 percent from the foul line (209-of-245).
