Sarah Strong and Azzi Fudd Are The Huskies ‘ top players
Individually, Strong and Fudd lead the way for the Huskies. Strong, the 2025-26 USBWA Player of the Year, is the top two-way forward in women’s basketball. Strong, who is a three-level scorer, averages 18.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 3.4 steals with shooting splits of 59.4/40.4/ 84.8. She has totaled 78 points, 31 rebounds, 16 steals, and seven blocks in four Tournament games.
Fudd, an AP All-American first-team selection, is one of the country’s top shooters. Fudd averages 17.5 points, 3.1 assists, and 2.6 steals while also making 3.0 threes a game with shooting splits of 48.9/45.5/95.5. However, the 5-11 guard has had an up-and-down NCAA Tournament thus far due to inconsistent shooting.
Six-foot-2 freshman guard Blanco Quinonoz has been outstanding in the NCAA Tournament, though she is the only Husky to average double-figures on the season. Overall, the Huskies go nine deep and get contributions from everyone.
