Losing Essence Carson and Matee Ajavon doesn’t mean Rutgers can’t compete next season.

This might be the last time Rutgers and C. Vivian Stringer fall just short in the NCAA women's basketball tournament. There is no doubt that Stringer and seniors Essence Carson and Matee Ajavon felt they let one get away in blowing a a 14-point lead to No. 1 Connecticut in the Greensboro (N.C.) regional final on Tuesday night. It cost them a second straight trip to the Final Four, and left some wondering whether Rutgers would ever join the likes of Tennessee and Connecticut atop the pack in women's basketball. Not to worry. The Scarlet Knights will be back next season, and maybe better than ever.

Maya Moore Named AP First-Team All-American.



Maya Moore, the first freshman selected Big East Player of the Year, trumped that distinction today by becoming only the second freshman in the history of women's basketball to be named an Associated Press first-team All-American. "I don't think we've ever had a freshman make this kind of impact in the 23 years that I've been here," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. "I don't think anyone could have predicted what Maya has done, and then to do it on the level she's done it. I think it is nothing short of remarkable."
