The notion that the UConn women’s basketball team continues to play at such a high level without any All-Americans is no longer. After losing the Big Three last season to graduation and failing to get one player on the preseason All-American list, the Huskies once again have three All-Americans as Napheesa Collier and Katie Lou Samuelson were named to the First Team while Gabby Williams made the Second Team.
Collier and Samuelson made a big leap in their second season to form the most dangerous duo of sophomores in the nation. They were named co-AAC Players of the Year but now their talents are being recognized on a national level.
