March 14, 2019 | Women's Basketball
SAN FRANCISCO --- Senior guard Jenna Moser has earned one of five spots on the 2019 Pac-12 Conference Women's Basketball All-Academic First Team as announced by the conference office on Thursday. She was one of five Washington players to earn All-Academic honors.
To be eligible for selection to the academic team, a student-athlete must have a minimum 3.0 overall grade-point average and appear in at least 50 percent of their team's games.
Fellow graduate student Hannah Johnson, juniors Mai-Loni Henson and Amber Melgoza and sophomore Khayla Rooks also earned Honorable Mention recognition.
Moser, a graduate student in the University of Washington Intercollegiate Athletic Leadership program, has maintained a 3.87 GPA through out her grad work. This past summer, she earned an undergraduate degree in business with a 3.60 GPA.
Moser, a former practice player and walk-on with the team, is a two-year captain and the lone player to start every game for the Huskies over the last two seasons. She led the team in steals, was third in assists and fourth in blocks on the year, averaging 4.7 points per game with 44 steals and 62 assists.
Johnson is also completing her work in the Intercollegiate Athletic Leadership graduate program, posting a 3.42 GPA this year. She also earned her undergraduate degree last year with a 3.26 GPA in Gender, Women and Sexuality Studies. Johnson averaged 4.8 points and 3.5 rebounds this past season, seeing action in all 32 games and making nine starts. She finished her UW career 511 points, 413 rebounds, 63 assists, and 44 steals.
Melogza had a banner year both on and off the court, posting a cumulative 3.21 GPA while working toward a communications degree. The junior also earned Dean's List recognition in the fall with a 3.60 GPA. Melgoza led the team in points, rebounds and assists, becoming just the fifth player in program history to lead in all three categories. She also poured in 579 points—the 8th-best single-season point total at UW.
Henson, a junior from San Diego, posted a 3.11 GPA in pursuit of a Public Health degree. She was an all-around solid player for the Huskies this season, ranking fourth on the team in scoring, third in rebounding, third in steals and fourth in assists. Henson recorded a season-high six assists including the helper on the game-winning three-pointer in Washington's stunning upset over No. 11 Oregon State in the Pac-12 Tournament Quarterfinals.
Rooks finished her first year-and-a-half at Washington with a 3.13 GPA, working toward a Law, Societies & Justice degree. The sophomore, who plans on pursuing a career as a homicide detective after her basketball career is over, led the team in free throw percentage at 84.2%, missing just three from the line all season. She appeared in all 32 games, making two starts, and averaged 15.0 minutes per game.
Washington wrapped up the 2018-19 season with an incredible run, pulling off a pair of upsets to reach the Pac-12 Tournament semifinals for just the fourth time in program history. Despite playing the 15th-most difficult schedule among 351 NCAA Division I teams, the Huskies earned four more victories this season than last and won four games against Pac-12 competition after winning just one the previous season.
