When the season began there were 10 players named on multiple ballots on the Associated
Press preseason All-American women's basketball team and not one of them hailed from the
four-time defending national champions.
It was a much different story as UConn sophomores Napheesa Collier and Katie Lou
Samuelson were named first team All-Americans by the Associated Press. They join Maya Moore and Breanna Stewart as the only UConn sophomores to earn first-team AP All-American honors.
Samuelson is UConn's leading scorer, averaging 20.7 points per game. She heads into
Monday night's regional final against Oregon needing five 3-pointer to tie Kaleena
Mosqueda-Lewis' single-season program record.
