With UConn women’s basketball on the precipice of yet another Final Four, senior stars Napheesa Collier and Katie Lou Samuelson are racking up the awards. Both players were named AP and Women’s Basketball Coaches’ Association All-Americans while Collier earned the Katrina McClain Award, given to the best power forward in the nation.
Collier was named a First Team AP All-American after the senior averaged a double-double with 20.9 points and 10.5 rebounds during the regular season. Despite somehow being left off the finalist lists for both the Naismith and Wade Trophies, awarded to the best player in the country, Collier received more votes for the first team than any other player.
