The UConn quartet of Stefanie Dolson, Kelly Faris, Bria Hartley and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis are among 30 players in contention for the Naismith Trophy.

UConn is the only team with four candidates while Baylor, Notre Dame, Duke, Maryland and Penn State each have a pair of players on the list.

Dolson is a 6-5 junior center who is averaging 14 points a game (while shooting 60 percent from the field), 6.4 rebounds and 37 blocked shots. Faris, a 5-foot-11 senior guard/forward, is the only UConn player to start every game this season. She led the Huskies with 114 assists and 77 steals and is averaging a career-high 10.8 points per game. Hartley, a 5-7 junior guard, is averaging 9 points per game while Mosqueda-Lewis, a 6-foot sophomore forward, is averaging a team-best 17.1 points per game and her 85 3-pointers is tied for the eighth most in UConn history.

Baylor's Brittney Griner, who was last year's winner, is among the other candidates. The winner will be announced on Apr. 8.
