UConn Huskies women’s basketball senior All-American Maya Moore appears to be well on her way to yet another Big East Player of the Year honor. For the fourth time this season, Moore has been honored as the Big East Player of the Week.
Moore averaged 23.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and four assists as she helped the Huskies to a 2-0 week last week.
In UConn’s 81-35 win over the Villanova Wildcats, Moore had 16 points and nine rebounds. In Saturday’s nailbiting 79-76 win over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Moore had 31 points and eight rebounds.
Also during the win on Saturday, Moore became the 45th player in Division I history to score over 2,500 career points.
Moore and the Huskies are back in action on Wednesday night (weather permitting) when they’ll head to the World’s Most Famous Arena, Madison Square Garden, for a matchup with the St. John’s Red Storm. The game is scheduled to start at 9:30 p.m. and will be televised locally in Connecticut on CPTV.
