After the game, Reese received more good news as she was announced as the BET Sportswoman of the Year. This award celebrates the most successful woman from the Black community in sports from the year.

The former LSU Tigers star went on to share an emotional response to winning this award on social media.

“Thank you BET for Sportswomen of the Year!” Reese said while adding a crying emoji.
