However, it was another stellar season for Moore. She is the Big East Player of the Year, averaging 23.4 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. Earlier this season, the UConn women extended their winning streak to 90 games, longest ever (men or women) in NCAA history. Moore's career high of 41 points came vs. Florida State this season, and she is UConn's all-time leading scorer.
