Stewart continued her stellar play in her sophomore year ; her coaches noticed that she was demanding the ball more often , something she occasionally did as a freshman , but usually only if she thought she was playing well . By the end of her sophomore year , she was named the American Athletic Conference Player of the Year in the league 's first season after the split of the original Big East Conference , an honor she would go on to win the following two seasons . Additionally , she was named AP Player of the Year , only the third time in history a sophomore had claimed the honor . The other two sophomore recipients were UConn 's Maya Moore and Oklahoma 's Courtney Paris . Stewart started and played in all 40 games of 2013 – 2014 season . She led the team at 19.4 points and 2.8 blocks per game , was second on the team with 8.1 rebounds per contest , and fourth on the squad at 49.7 percent shooting and her 291 field goals made was the third-highest single-season total in UConn annals . Her 324 boards marked the 12th-highest single-season total in school history , and her 110 rejections was the third-highest mark
