Wonderful news!!! Soon we should see a few more UCONN Huskies to join her on the WBCA AA Team... which may help relieve the "sting" of last night just a bit... I join the other UCONN Huskie fans in saying "I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT SEASON!!!"

Love it - at least one consolation prize for this wonderful player and UCONN team...!

Wonderful news and well-deserved for a young lady who played her heart out last night, including out jumping a 6'7" center twice for jump balls at the start of the game & OT.

 

[HuskyNan]

Well deserved!

 

[Geew1992]

Yessss Gabby!!

Gabby...going on the wall next season...

Awesome, feel like she represents herself as well as some others who were deserving in the past but missed out on the recognition needed to be selected for AA...

Lou and Pheesa will they go on next season or Senior year? Hmmm not sure what Geno will decide on that...

This is just GABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!

WBCA names Gabby Williams the 2017 NCAA Division I Defensive Player of the Year

I think they should hang in the Werth Center practice area a single banner, hanging names below, to honor defensive player of the year recipients. Maybe also for Lieberman award winners.

Congrats to Gabby - love watching her amazing play.

is Gabby a 1st Team All-American on any of the services... I'm a lil lost! I know she was a 2nd Team with KLS and Napheesa as 1st Team. just wondering, hard to follow all this stuff.

maybe being DPOY gets her on the wall

It's been announced that she made first-team WBCA All-American as well. So on the wall.

thanks, so now the criteria doesn't have to change

Gabby this season had over 200 defensive rebounds, 50 blocks, and 100 steals. She's the only UConn player ever to do that. She quarterbacked the defense directing all the switches and at times shoving her teammates into the right spot. She battled bigger players all season including a handful of All-American post players all game long. Such a deserved honor.

Congrats to Gabby! Moriah passed the torch to her, and Gabby carried it well by taking over games on the defensive end. I wonder what Gabby will do next year?

 

[Sonny44]

The one and only!

Awesome! Game in and game out Gabby proved that she is a true game changer. She is the most exciting player in wcbb and arguably the best. I am thrilled for her as well as Phessa and Lou. Not sure how this mitigates the "sting". To the contrary. We have 3 first team AAs, MSU has none yet we went home.

???? Never said "mitigates the sting"... but that it may help relieve it a bit.... no way to get rid of it completely, until they get their revenge next season.... which I said I am looking forward to.
