UConn's Paige Bueckers nominated for 2025 NCAA Woman of Year award

Paige Bueckers earned herself a whole lot of accolades at UConn last season. National champion, All-American, Big East Player of the Year, the list goes on.

So it should come as no surprise to Huskies fans that Bueckers was chosen as one of two Big East Conference nominees for the 2025 NCAA Woman of the Year award.

In addition to her on-court success, Bueckers also graduated with a degree in Human Development and Family Studies with a cumulative 3.49 GPA. She also volunteered at the Connecticut Children’s Hospital, where she spent time with patients in-person and virtually while participating in the hospital’s social media based fundraising campaigns.

The UConn standout also helped provide funding and support for free grocery stores at Hopkins West Junior High School in Minnesota and at UConn’s Storrs campus from 2022-25, and had a downtown Minneapolis pop-up during the Final Four weekend in 2022. She was an active participant in Geno Auriemma’s charity events – Geno’s for the Kids Charity Dinner and Golf Tournament. Bueckers was the 2024 Big East Scholar Athlete of the Year and a 2024 CSC First Team Academic All-American.
