She’s baaaack! Six-time gold medalist and two-time USA Basketball Female Athlete of the Year (2011, 2013) Breanna Stewart had been radio silent on Twitter since last November. That’s because University of Connecticut women’s basketball head coach Geno Auriemma mandates that his players stay off social media during the season. But now that Stewart and the Huskies have won their third consecutive NCAA national championship, she has been quite active on Twitter.
