University of Virginia bound soccer star Morgan Brian accomplished a feat few others have been able to manage this year - beating out UConn incoming freshman Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis for a national honor.

Brian beat out five other finalists including Mosqueda-Lewis to win the Gatorade Female High School Athlete of the Year award.

Aisling Cuffe (cross country), Paige McDuffie (softball), Krista VanSant (volleyball) and Amy Weissenbach (track and field) where the other finalists.

The 6-foot Mosqueda-Lewis averaged 22 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals as a senior while leading Mater Dei of Santa Ana, Calif. to its second straight state title and No. 1 national ranking for the second straight year.

She set single-season records with 116 3-pointers and a 87.0 free-throw percentage. She ended up as Mater Dei's career leader with 2,744 points, 874 rebounds and 337 3-pointers.

She is currently in training with the rest of the U.S. Under-19 national team in preparation for the FIBA U-19 World Championships which will be played later this month in Chile. Mosqueda-Lewis was unable to make it Los Angeles for the award presentation because of her USA Basketball commitment.

Former USC and Los Angeles Sparks star Lisa Leslie, who surprised Mosqueda-Lewis by being on hand to present her with the Gatorade girls' basketball player of the year honor, handed out the award to Brian on Tuesday along with sprinter Allyson Felix and softball star Jessica Mendoza.
