Azura Stevens is hitting her stride

It may only be the first weekend of March, but Azura Stevens already has some well-deserved hardware.

Prior to the Huskies’ American Athletic Conference Tournament matchup against Tulane, Stevens made two trips to the awards table to collect her AAC Newcomer of the Year and Sixth Player of the Year Awards.

After that, the 6-foot-6 Stevens put on a dominant display against the Green Wave, navigating some foul trouble to dominate the glass and finish the day with 15 points, nine rebounds (three offensive) and two blocks in just 21 minutes.

With usual starter Gabby Williams out due to injury, Stevens replaced Williams in the starting lineup to open the second half.
