Mosqueda-Lewis, Banks, Stewart back at work

Fresh off an emotional win over Brea Olinda in the CIF Southern Section IAA tournament final, UConn signee Kaleena Mosqueda will lead Mater Dei of Santa Ana, Calif. against Fairfax on Tuesday in the CIF Division I tournament.

The irony is that Mater Dei defeated Santa Monica and then Brea Olinda to win the title and the Monarchs could see both teams again. If Mater Dei beats Fairfax and Santa Monica tops Carson in the first round, the teams would meet on Thursday.

On Wednesday, fellow UConn incoming freshman Brianna Banks hopes to lead her Fayette County of Fayetteville, Ga. squad one step closer to the state title when they play Chattahoochee in the Georgia AAAA semifinals. A win would advance Fayette County to Friday's state championship game. Forest Park and Douglas County will play in Thursday's other semifinal.

UConn commit Breanna Stewart, fresh off MVP honors in leading her Cicero-North Syracuse team to the New York Section III Class AA title, now will lead her squad against Shaker in the next step in New York's playoff system. That game is Saturday atLiverpool High School. If Cicero-North Syracuse wins, it will play on March 18 in the state semifinals at the Glens Falls Civic Center.

EUROLEAGUE ALL-STAR GAME IS TUESDAY
Former UConn stars Sue Bird and Tina Charles will be playing in the EuroLeague All-Star Game on Tuesday. Bird and Charles are reserves on the "Rest of the World" team. Sandrine Gruda of the Connecticut Sun and former Sun draft pick Alba Torrens are starters for Europe's squad.
