It isn't very often that UConn's Breanna Stewart fails to win a prestigious national award she has been nominated for.
However, that is what took place on Monday night in Los Angeles as former Olympic gold medalist Missy Franklin, a sophomore at Cal, was named the winner of the Honda Cup.
This is second year in a row that Stewart was named one of the three finalists for the award which is picked from the 12 individual sport winners. Florida softball star Lauren Haeger, the first player in history with 70 career wins and home runs, was the other finalist this year.
