Maya about the be the one

With Maya Moore needing nine points against Sacred Heart on Sunday to pass former teammate Tina Charles and become UConn's all-time leading scorer, I did a little research about past scoring leaders with the Huskies.

Statistics from the inaugural varsity season in 1974-75 are incomplete but considering that the Huskies scored just 420 points in 10 games, I think it is a safe assumption to say that the 98 points scored by Susan Fellows and Linda Staveski was the standard. Staveski finished the following season with a record 240 points. Karen Mullins, known better as UConn's long-time softball coach, became the first Husky to reach the 500-point plateau in 1977. Valerie Sirois graduated in 1979 with a record 747 points. In 1980 Chris Gedney became the program's first 1,000-point scorer. Three years later Cathy Bochain set a record of 1,534 points which stood until Kerry Bascom came around. When Bascom graduated in 1991, she had 2,177 career points. That mark has since been surpassed by Nykesha Sales in 1998 and Tina Charles earlier this year and most recently Moore moved by both Bascom and Sales.
