  • A flurry of transfers have been announced at the end of this season.

    Among them, soph Azurà Stevens, Duke's leading scorer and rebounder and freshman Angela Salvadores from Spain and one of the top european junior players are leaving the program. Duke has heavily recruited in the past years but results have been far below expectations. Blue Devils have missed NCAA tournament this season. Stevens destination is unknown, Salvadores is expected to start her pro career.

    Former McDonald's All-American Jatarie White, a junior, has left South Carolina, after she failed to live up to expectations in college.

    Other two ex HS stars Mikayla Venson and Sydney Umeri left Virginia, with Umeri who got her grad with one year of eligibility remaining.

    Taja Cole, another highly recruited freshman, left Louisville.

    • UConn's Breanna Stewart wins the Wade Trophy for the second time and joins teammates Morgan Tuck and Moriah Jefferson in WBCA All-American team. Jefferson was also named defensive PoY.

      Breanna Stewart of the UConn Huskies wins a second straight Wade Trophy and joins teammates Moriah Jefferson and Morgan Tuck on the WBCA All-American team.


      Stewart and her head coach Geno Auriemma also honored by AP.

      UConn's Breanna Stewart has been voted The Associated Press Player of the Year in women's college basketball for a record third time.

      Typically sarcastic and armed with quips, UConn's Geno Auriemma was instead overwhelmed by emotion Saturday as he recognized Chris Dailey and his players and everything they've accomplished.

        • Breanna Stewart, Morgan Tuck and Moriah Jefferson became the first college players to win four championships and together scored yesterday more points than the entire Syracuse team. Stewart added another award being named the finals MVP. It wil be interesting to see if RS-Jr Morgan Tuck, who is age-eligible for WNBA draft, decides to stay or enter the pro draft. Tuck might be a high pick, after closing an outstanding season at UConn.

          Interestingly, also Div. II and III champs, Lubbock Christian and Thomas More capped their season undefeated, the third time the three NCAA champions finish with a perfect record.
