Suwanee's Moore Earns College Basketball Honor

Maya Moore, who played high school basketball at Collins Hill in Suwanee, has been named Big East Player Of The Week for her performance in a record-setting win by UConn.

Moore, a senior forward, scored 41 points and had 10 rebounds as the Huskies defeated Florida State on Tuesday for their 89th consecutive victory. That surpassed the previous NCAA record of 88, set by the UCLA men in 1971-74.

It's the third time this season and the seventh time in her career that Moore has earned this recognition. The Huskies also have won 69 straight at home.

Moore was 15 of 24 from the field and made 10 of 11 free throws against the Seminoles. It was her 43rd career double-double.

The Huskies have won the past two national titles. However, their winning streak ended at 90 on Dec. 30 in a 71-59 loss to Stanford.
