No. 1-seed UConn has even more to brag about this week, as stars Azzi Fudd and Sarah Strong made history on Wednesday when they became the first teammates to earn AP All-America women's basketball First Team honors since 2020.
The seventh Husky duo to share the distinction, Strong and Fudd are joined by Vanderbilt's Mikayla Blakes, UCLA's Lauren Betts, and Texas's Madison Booker on the 2025/26 First Team roster.
Strong earned the only unanimous selection from AP voters, while Betts and Booker snagged First Team honors for the second straight season.
"I'm happy for them individually, but I know it means a lot for them to get this accomplishment together as well," UConn head coach Geno Auriemma said of his All-American pair.
The AP also named its Second and Third Team All-Americans on Wednesday, tapping former teammates Hannah Hidalgo (Notre Dame) and Olivia Miles (TCU) alongside Jaloni Cambridge (Ohio State), Audi Crooks (Iowa State), and Joyce Edwards (South Carolina) on the second five-player roster.
Flau'jae Johnson (LSU), Olivia Olson (Michigan), Kiki Rice (UCLA), Toby Fournier (Duke), and Raven Johnson (South Carolina) rounded out the Third Team, while Clara Strack (Kentucky), Rori Harmon (Texas), and Cotie McMahon (Ole Miss) earned honorable mentions, among others.
