As if an All-American freshman year that put her among the names like Angel McCoughtry and Shoni Schimmel wasn’t enough, Mariya Moore spent a busy summer winning a gold medal with the U-19 United States National team in the FIBA World Championship.
Returning to campus in the fall after traveling to Spain and Russia, the 6-foot wing is considered one of the best sophomores in the country and was an Associated Press All-American honorable mention. Moore was also named to the preseason all-ACC team by both the Blue Ribbon Panel and the league’s 15 coaches.
Last season, Moore was the leading scorer, second in assists and fourth in rebounding on a 27-7 team that reached the Sweet 16.
