AT FIRST GLANCE
The only player in history to be honored as the Final Four Most Outstanding Player three times, Stewart has earned the honor in each of her first three years at UConn … Diana Taurasi (2) is the only Husky to win the prestigious honor multiple times.

2015-16 SEASON
Leads the team at 19.5 points per game and 8.3 rebounds per contest … Shooting 58.6 percent from the field, including a career-best 42.6 percent from deep … Has scored in double-figures in each game she has played, including a season-high 29 points in only 27 minutes of action at Chattanooga on November 30 … Has eight double-doubles and was only three-rebounds shy of her first triple double on December 9 at Colgate.

“Stewie has got an incredible array of things she can do on the court. Every game that we play, she does a little bit of all those things. She’ll block enough shots, she’ll get enough rebounds, she’ll make enough jump shots, she’ll score in the lane, she’ll get to the free throw line, she’ll get a number of assists and steals. At the end of the game, you’ll look at the stat sheet and you’re surprised because it all looks so effortless. I guess that’s a sign of a good player, someone who make it look that easy.”
-Head Coach Geno Auriemma
