KML unanimous selection for 1st Team along with Diggins and USF's Andrea Smith.

Dolson also 1st team.

Long overdue recognition for Kelly, WTG, girl.

@BigEastWBB UConn senior guard Kelly Faris was chosen as the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year @UConnWBB

I would have called that selection a no-brainer however with the way these selections can go, I held out that anything could happen.

Congrats Kelly!

 

[TimeWillTell]

Rich Elliot has the full list of honors on his blog.

Great to see Kelly's effort recognized by others too! I'm really proud of her and she should be too, although she'll probably credit her teammates for her outstanding defense, like she always does.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Congrats to Kelly. Well deserved and overdue. Her offense helped get her the Most Improved award.

Yeah, Kaleena is unanimous. She's the best player in the conference.

 

[blackbird]

Kelly should have been first team though. And I'd even take Dolson off the list to do it.

Follow the careers of the members of the All Freshmen team and see how their resumes compare to Morgan's.

Morgan was injured and didn't get the chance to consistently show what she can do. Her greatness will be recognized during the next few seasons

 

[Forty_four]

Defensive award is well deserved and fabulous that she is recognized as a most improved player, her offense really picked up and was needed so much this year

It's about time that Kelly got the recognition she has deserved for so long. You go girl!!

Congrats to Kelly, Kaleena, Stef, Bria and Breanna! Well deserved honors!

I'm glad for Hrynko, too. The kid is feisty as all get out - love her game.

Nothing for our freshman starting power forward?

Morgan came on strong late in the season. She'll show them what's what next year.
