While the big news in the world of Connecticut women's basketball was that Chiney Ogwumike of the Connecticut Sun was named the WNBA's Rookie of the Year, it should also be noted that former UConn guard Bria Hartley was named to the all-rookie team along with Ogwumike, Odyssey Sims, Kayla McBride and Alyssa Thomas.

Hartley, who averaged 9.7 points and 3.1 assists as a rookie with the Washington Mystics, finished fourth in the all-rookie team voting with nine votes (Ogwumike, Sims and McBride each were named on 11 ballots).
