Breanna Stewart is now part of an elite group – just the fourth player to be chosen as a unanimous preseason Associated Press All-American twice.
The UConn star senior joined Maya Moore of Connecticut, Alana Beard of Duke and Brittney Griner of Baylor.
“That’s great company to be in,” Stewart said. “To be named with those players is humbling since they’ve had so much success.”
Stewart has already accomplished more than those three in college, winning national championships in her first three years. She’ll try for an unprecedented fourth title this season.
Accompanying Stewart on the preseason All-America team Tuesday were teammate Moriah Jefferson, South Carolina’s Tiffany Mitchell, Baylor’s Nina Davis and Ohio State’s Kelsey Mitchell. The five players were chosen by a 32-member national media panel.
