Today UConn Senior All American PG Renee Montgomery received the 2008-09 Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award which is awarded to the National Player of the Year in WCBB under 5'8 (UConn's Jennifer Rizzotti won the award in 1996). The Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award is named in honor of James Naismith's daughter-in-law. To earn the award, the recipient must demonstrate leadership, character, loyalty, all-around basketball ability and excellence in the classroom. Montgomery will be formally recognized at the WBCA Awards Luncheon presented by State Farm and Jostens at Noon (CT) on Tuesday, April 7th at the NCAA Women’s Final Four in St. Louis, Mo.

Congratulations Renee for all your hardwork and dedication on and off the court...you make us UConn fans very proud to call you our own!!!!
