Breanna Stewart is no stranger to receiving prestigious awards but this one has to be extra special.
Stewart swept the national player of the year awards in each of the last two seasons en route to leading UConn to an unprecedented four straight Division I titles. But on Sunday it was announced that Stewart and Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds were named co-winners of the AAU's Sullivan Award which is presented to the nation's premier amateur athlete.
Stewart is not only the first UConn women's basketball player to win the award but first women's basketball player so honored since sisters Coco and Kelly Miller shared the honor in 1999.
