Blair Brown A Finalist For National Awards
Even in the offseason after her fourth straight national championship, Blair Brown is still making headlines.
This week, Brown was named one of three finalists for the Honda-Broderick Cup, an award given to the National Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year. Over 1,000 NCAA-member schools voted for the three finalists out of the Honda Sports Award winners, which was given to Brown back in January for being the best player in NCAA women’s volleyball.
The winner will be announced on June 27th at Columbia University. The other finalists are UConn’s Maya Moore (Basketball) and Villanova’s Sheila Reed (Track and Field).
