ESPNW ranked the 15 best players at the Final Four. To no surprise, Sarah was #1. Azzi was #3. Blanca #6. Here's what Creme wrote about her:
"Nothing like having the second-highest-scoring game of your career in the biggest game of your career to date. The moment of a regional final was not too big for Quiñonez, and the game against Notre Dame might have gone quite differently had she not scored 20 points. Even more crucial to the outcome were the 14 points in the first half at a time when Sarah Strong and Azzi Fudd weren't at their best. The day might come when Quiñonez is UConn's best player, perhaps even the best player in the country. For now, though, she takes her spot behind the two veterans and has demonstrated she's ready when needed." (The bold is mine)
I think she will have to wait for Sarah to graduate for that "best player in the country" to happen...but wouldn't it be awesome if in her junior year she was actually better than Sarah? What a team that would be, then!
