UConn rising senior forward Maya Moore joins Penn State volleyball star Megan Hodge and Iowa State distance runner Lisa Koll among a trio who emerged from a list of 12 individual Honda Award sport winners for the prestigious Honda-Broderick Cup.

Here is the bio for Moore courtesy of a press release I received earlier today.
Moore

Maya Moore (junior, basketball) – Moore, a native of Jefferson City, Missouri, grew up in Lawrenceville, Georgia. She helped her team achieve an NCAA record of 78 consecutive wins over two seasons, as well as its sixth undefeated season and second straight NCAA National Championship. Moore ended the season averaging 18.9 points and 8.3 rebounds, and scored in double figures 34 times. She finished the 2009-2010 season with 736 points, the second most points scored in a season by a UConn player only to herself (754 pts in 2008-09). So far in her career Moore has scored 2168 points, with 963 rebounds and 243 three-pointers. She is also the first junior in the program’s history to score over 2000 points. She received both the 2010 NCAA Final Four Most Outstanding Player and Dayton Regional’s Most Outstanding Player award and is a three-time AP First Team All-American. A Sports Marketing and Media major with a 3.85 GPA, she has been honored this year as the Big East Scholar Athlete of the Year, ESPN Academic All-America of the Year, CoSIDA Academic First-Team, 2010 Wade Trophy winner and Wooden Award finalist

The winner will be announced in a ceremony at UCLA on Monday. If Moore wins, she will become the first UConn player to receive the award since Jennifer Rizzotti earned the honor in 1996. Rebecca Lobo, the 1995 winner, is the only other UConn product to win one of the premier awards in collegiate athletics. Tennessee product Candace Parker, who won in 2008, is the last basketball player to be given the award. The list of basketball stars who have been named Honda-Broderick Cup winners (Lusia Harris, Ann Meyers, Nancy Lieberman, Cheryl Miller, Kamie Etheridge, Teresa Weatherspoon, Dawn Staley, Lobo, Rizzotti, Chamique Holdsclaw, Jackie Stiles and Parker) reads like a who's who of women's basketball. Also, if Moore wins the award, she would have a chance to join swimming legend Tracy Caulkins as the only two-time winner of the award.

KATIE THE GREEK?
Former Connecticut Sun guard Katie Douglas, who played in two games with the U.S. Senior National team in 2007, is applying for Greek citizenship which would allow her to suit up for Greece in FIBA World Championships

Douglas is eligible to become a citizen of Greece because her husband is from Greece. Douglas also has had professional playing stints in Greece. Speaking of the World Championships, Greece is in Pool B along with the United States, France and Senegal. The FIBA World Championships for Women will run from Sept. 23-Oct. 3 in the Czech Republic.
