Shawnetta Stewart of Rutgers received her second consecutive All-Met Division I Women's Player of the Year honor from the Met Basketball Writers Association at the 67th NIT/MBWA Haggerty Awards dinner at the Meadowlands' Pegasus West in East Rutherford, NJ on Thursday, April 27.

With back-to-back MBWA honors in hand, Stewart, a 5-10 senior powerhouse, is one of the most prolific players in Rutgers basketball history, leading the Scarlet Knights to the school's first-ever NCAA Final Four appearance. In addition, Stewart was named an Honorable Mention Associated Press All-American and was chosen the NCAA Tournament West Region Most Valuable Player.

In her final season, Stewart led the team in scoring (14.6 points) and rebounding (6.3) for the 26-8 Scarlet Knights. Over her final two seasons, the Philadelphia, PA, native averaged 14.5 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game as the Scarlet Knights combined for a 55-14 record.

Stewart compiled 1,346 points and 629 rebounds while also nailing 144 career three pointers and was named All-Big East and All-Tournament for the second time during her senior season, concluding her career as the 10th all-time leading scorer despite playing only three years.
