UConn’s freshman sensation Maya Moore may have to get a bigger dorm room by the end of this year.
On Monday afternoon, the Big East Conference announced it’s first weekly women’s basketball awards and Moore took home the Freshman of the Week award.
All Moore did was average 26 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4 steals and 2.5 blocks in UConn’s two wins and her first collegiate games last week. She had 21 in the season opener against Stony Brook and 31 against Holy Cross. She also shot 78.6% (22-28) from the floor.
Her double-double in the season opener was the first by a freshman since Ann Strother at the start of the 2002-2003 season. She is also the first UConn freshman to score 20 points in back-to-back games.
