STORRS—Four members of the UConn
women’s basketball team were named to the Wooden Award Mid-Season Top 25, as announced by the Los Angeles Athletic Club Wednesday. Senior Crystal
Dangerfield, junior Megan Walker, sophomore Olivia Nelson-Ododa and sophomore
Christyn Williams were tabbed to the list.
Dangerfield is averaging
15.0 points per game, good for third on the team. She leads the Huskies with 44
assists and 4.4 assists per game.
Walker leads the Huskies
this season with 21.0 points per game and is tied for the team lead with 9.4
rebounds per game. She has scored in double digits in every game this season,
including seven games with 20 or more points.
Nelson-Ododa is averaging
13.0 points and 9.4 rebounds per game. She is top three nationally with 54

season.
Williams is second on the
team with 16.3 points per game. She is also averaging 5.2 rebounds per game.

A Husky has won the Wooden

Breanna Stewart (2015, ’16).
The four have helped UConn
back to the No. 1 ranking and a 12-0 record. The Huskies will have a tough test
