Keep rollin', rollin', rollin'......

Today UConn Sr. PG Renee Montgomery was named the winner of the 2009 Nancy Lieberman Award. The award recognizes the nation's top collegiate point guard in women's Division I basketball. The criteria for the award are the floor leadership, play-making and ball-handling skills that personified Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman during her career. Sportswriters from across the country determined the award winner and finalists. The three finalists (in alphabetical order) are: Kristi Cirone (Illinois State), Danielle Robinson (Oklahoma), and Kristi Toliver (Maryland). Montgomery adds her name to the list of outstanding WCBB point guards which includes former UConn Greats Sue Bird (who won the award from 2000 to 2002) and Diana Taurasi (who won the award in 2003 and 2004).
