Another national honor for Mosqueda-Lewis

UConn incoming freshman Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis has been named the national female high school athlete of the year by MaxPreps.

Mosqueda-Lewis was previously named the girls' basketball player of the year by MaxPreps in addition to earning the same honor from Gatorade, USA Today, Naismith and the WBCA.

Next up for the 6-foot wing from Anaheim, Calif. is a trip to Colorado Springs, Colo. for the U.S. Under-19 national team trials which start on Sunday. She joins fellow UConn signee Kiah Stokes, Connecticut rising sophomores Stefanie Dolson and Bria Hartley, UConn commits Moriah Jefferson, Breanna Stewart and Morgan Tuck as well as UConn recruiting target Diamond DeShields among the 35 players expected to take part in the four-day training camp.

CONNECTICUT SUN OPEN CAMP
The Connecticut Sun will begin its training camp today, meeting with the media during the late afternoon before wrapping up a busy day with a scrimmage at Mohegan Sun Arena which is open to season ticket holders.

With the draft-day trade with New York resulting in Kalana Greene being acquired by the Sun, four of the 15 players in camp are UConn graduates as Greene joins her former college teammates Tina Charles and Renee Montgomery as well as Asjha Jones on the squad.

Charles, Montgomery and Jones are among nine returning players headed to training camp (Kelsey Griffin, Kerri Gardin, Allison Hightower, Kara Lawson, DeMya Walker and Tan White are the others). Joining Greene as newcomers to the team are last year's No. 1 pick Danielle McCray, who missed her rookie season with a knee injury, third-round pick Adrienne Johnson, Tahnee Robinson, Rachele Fitz and Stefanie Murphy.
