Congrats to Ashlynn. She started off a bit slow - but has really been coming on. She's up to 4th on the team in scoring (9.3 PPG) - behind Paige, Aaliyah and Aubrey. All her %'s (shooting, etc.) are on the rise. Excited to see how she manages the rest of the season. And she's flat out fun to watch. So happy for her!

Wow the UConn Freshman have won 6 of the 7 BEFOW, who was the Non UConn FOW?

. And she's flat out fun to watch. So happy for her!

She visibly loves the game as much as any player i can remember. And the apparent talent to go with it.

UConn has now had all of this year’s available entering class be league FOW. Be great if fellow first year player Ice could have a breakout game even if it’s mostly rebounding.

Ice will have that breakout game. It is just around the corner but a huge congrats for Ashlynn. Well-deserved and hopefully not the only time she wins this honor this season. Let this be the start to many honors for her career.

Ashlynn has cemented her spot on the starting five and will be a UCONN standout for the next four years. Ashlynn is an AA candidate and future NC MOP. To all who will jump in, I say time will tell if I am right. GO ASHLYNN!!!! GO HUSKIES!!!!!

It is as the savants among us predicted.

 

[Huskee11]

It would have been a shock if she did NOT win it based upon those performances.

She may have won a Freshman award (her second) but she is definitely not playing like a Freshman.

 

[Nolefan]

Still early but she has to be an early favorite for freshman of the year ?

 

[Scud49]

This is great and very well deserved - very happy for her!

Our Ms. Ash has a hectic little motor that never quits or idles - and hits top speed very, very, quickly.

Do you mean in the Big East, or nationally? Certainly not nationally, with Juju Watkins, Malaysia Fulwiley, and Williams from LSU in the picture.

Even in the Big East, she will have competition from her teammate KK.

Let the game "come to you", ICE!

Great week and a good run for UConn overall for the BEFOW. The silver lining to the injuries it is getting players time on the court to show what they have and so far the youngsters have been great.

 

[Zinethar]

She has an advantage going for BEFOY because she never has to play UConn .
