Maya Moore, UConn visit White House

Maya Moore, UConn women's basketball team visits White House.

President Barack Obama welcomed coach Geno Auriemma and the UConn women's basketball team to the White House Monday.

Team members laugh while the President makes a comment. Pictured rear center are Maya Moore (right) and Tina Charles.

Moore, a former two-time national prep player of the year at Collins Hill High in Gwinnett County, and Charles present the President with a personalized team jersey.

Moore and Charles were first-team All-Americans while leading UConn to an unbeaten record and a national championship last season.

Moore has been selected first-team All-America in each of her three seasons at UConn, and will return next season to help the team extend its 78-game winning streak.
