Seniors with ties to Maryland made a huge impact on the Associated Press All-America women's teams announced on Tuesday, with Terrapins Kristi Toliver and Marissa Coleman named to the first and second teams, respectively, and Louisville's Angel McCoughtry (St.Frances) selected for the lead squad.
Oklahoma's Courtney Paris is the first four-time All-American, and Connecticut sophomore Maya Moore is a unanimous selection in her second appearance. Moore was joined on the first team by fellow UConn player Renee Montgomery. Paris, 6 feet 4, holds 18 NCAA records, including 112 straight double doubles.
Moore received 225 points and was the only unanimous choice among the 45-member national media panel that votes in the weekly Top 25. The voting was done before the start of the NCAA tournament.
Like Toliver, McCoughtry was a second-team All-American as a junior. The Sun's 2003 All-Metro Player of the Year guided Louisville this week to its first Final Four.
