She joins current Husky Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and former UConn stars Maya Moore, Tina Charles, Ann Strother and Tamika Williams as winners of the Gatorade award. Stewart is now a finalist for the Gatorade Female Athlete of the Year award which will be announced in July.

Stewart is averaging 25.7 points, 13.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 3.2 steals and 3.5 blocks per game heading into Friday's New York AA semifinal against Ossining.
