Filling up the stat sheet
Since Maya Moore arrived at UConn she has kept the statisticians pretty busy.
Her scoring exploits have been well documented. She is already UConn's all-time career leader and with 2,449 career points could very well return home from the Huskies' two-game California swing as the first UConn player with 2,500 career points. But there is so much more to the senior forward than gaudy scoring totals.
Heading into today's games Moore is the only Division I women's player to lead her team in scoring, rebounding, assists (she is tied with Tiffany Hayes), steals and blocked shots.
As a point of reference, just 14 Division I players lead in four of the five categories and only Alabama's Tierney Jenkins, Miami's Shenice Johnson, Alyssa Morris of Cal Riverside and Dartmouth's Brittney Smith rank second in the one category they don't lead their team in.

Maya Moore would have been the all-time career scoring leader in NCAA women's basketball history - if she was not the ultimate team player.
