UConn senior center Tina Charles has been named the United States Basketball Writers Association player of the year and headlines the 10-member All-American team.

Charles, who is UConn's all-time leader with 2,316 points and 1,343 rebounds, is UConn's leading rebounder with an average of 9.4 per game and second on the team with a 18.3 scoring average.

UConn junior forward Maya Moore, who is averaging a team-best 18.4 points per game and won the award in 2009, joins Charles on the All-American team.

Charles and Moore were also named to the Wooden All-American team on Wednesday, joining Nebraska's Kelsey Griffin and the Stanford duo of Nneka Ogwumike and Jayne Appel on the squad.
