UConn sophomore Maya Moore was named to the Associated Press' preseason All-American team along with Oklahoma's Courtney Paris, just the sixth unanimous selection, Louisville's Angel McCoughtry, Andrea Riley of Oklahoma State and Kristi Toliver of Maryland.

Moore was named on 44 of the 45 ballots or else she would have joined Paris by being named unanimously to the team. Moore averaged 17.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.6 blocks as a freshman as she joined Paris as the only freshman to be named a first team All-American by the Associated Press.

Moore and the Huskies will play their first exhibition game Thursday at 7:30 p.m. against Stonehill College at Gampel Pavilion..
