Connecticut senior Maya Moore is the first three-time winner of the Wade Trophy, the Women's Basketball Coaches Association announced Saturday.

The award goes to the most outstanding player in NCAA Division I women's basketball. Former LSU star Seimone Augustus and Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman, who played at Old Dominion, are the only other players to win it twice.

"I don't think it's sunk in yet," Moore said Saturday. "It's absolutely an honor. But to put it in perspective, I don't know. I'm really just really on the national championship right now. So hopefully I'll be able to enjoy this one by winning a national championship."

Later in the afternoon, Moore also was named The Associated Press player of the year for the second time in three seasons.
