Former UConn guard Renee Montgomery is one of the 10 finalists for Women's Sports Foundation Sportswoman of the Year.

Actually, she is one of 11 finalists since the tennis doubles team of Cara Black and Liezel Huber are considering to be one of the finalists along with former Penn State volleyball star Nicole Fawcett, University of Washington pitcher Danielle Lawrie, former Northwestern lacrosse star Hannah Nielsen, former Wisconsin hockey goalie Jessie Vetter, Brazilian soccer star Marta Vieira da Silva, pro bowler Kelly Kulick, German bobsled Sandra Kiriasis and Canadian curler Shannon Kleibrink.

The winner will be honored at a dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York on Oct. 13.

Fans can cast their ballots for Montgomery, who led UConn to a 39-0 record and the program's sixth national title before being selected in the first round of the WNBA draft by the Minnesota Lynx. Voting is open until Aug. 9 and the winner will be notified on Aug. 14.

Montgomery and the Lynx will host the Connecticut Sun Friday at 8 p.m. The game will be televised on NBA TV. Montgomery is averaging 7.9 points in her rookie season with the Lynx.
