Maya Moore joins select company

UConn's Maya Moore joined former Oklahoma star Courtney Paris as the only players named to the Associated Press All-American team four times.

Moore is the Huskies all-time leading scorer and heads into tonight's Elite Eight game against Duke needing 28 points for 3,000 in her career. In addition to being UConn's all-time leading scorer, she is also the career leader with 4,609 minutes, 1,145 field goals while ranking second with 304 3-pointers and 1,258 rebounds (10 behind Rebecca Lobo's second-place total), third with 299 steals and 201 blocked shots.

Moore has been a part of 151 wins, the highest total in NCAA history and is the first player in Division I history with more than 2,500 points, 1,000 rebounds, 500 assists, 250 steals and 200 blocked shots.

Moore, who was an unanimous selection for the third straight season, is joined on the first team by Baylor's Brittney Griner, Jeanette Pohlen of Stanford, Jantel Lavender of Ohio State and Danielle Adams of Texas A&M.

Oklahoma's Danielle Robinson, Xavier's Amber Harris, Gonzaga's Courtney Vandersloot, Stanford's Nneka Ogwumike and Duke's Jasmine Thomas are on the second team.

The third team members were Tennessee's Shekinna Stricklen, Miami's Shenise Johnson, Kentucky's Victoria Dunlap, Xavier's Ta'Shia Phillips and Notre Dame's Skylar Diggins, the only other Big East player to make one of the three teams although UConn's Tiffany Hayes was an honorable mention selection.

Moore was also named the ECAC Player of the Year while Hayes was a second-team selection.
