For five-straight years, the UConn women’s basketball team has won the American Athletic Conference regular season and tournament without losing a game. In those last two seasons, Huskies’ star Katie Lou Samuelson has earned the AAC’s Player of the Year.

History is expected to repeat itself this season as UConn was picked to finish first in the AAC Coaches’ Preseason Poll while Samuelson was named the Preseason Player of the Year.

Along with Samuelson, senior forward Napheesa Collier was a unanimous selection to the Preseason All-Conference First Team while junior guard Crystal Dangerfield also made the cut.
