Moore withdrew her name April 18 with intention to finish her eligibility and degree in communications at UDM and emailed Vowels last week to figure out how to work her classes and internship around the team’s practice schedule.
Moore said she told by Vowels on Wednesday that Gilbert wants to completely have a new team and that the university supported that decision to give the player a choice to remain in school on scholarship but not complete her two years of eligibility or re-enter the portal and find another school. Moore began her college career at Western Michigan and has been with the Titans the past two seasons. Gilbert did not participate in the call, Moore said, and has not spoken to her former player since Jan. 16.

Auriemma passes Summitt
With it being “We Back Pat Week,” it was only fitting that the late, legendary Tennessee Lady Volunteers coach Pat Summitt was honored and remembered for her accomplishments when UConn Huskies head coach Geno Auriemma surpassed her in career wins on Tuesday.
With the Huskies’ 103-35 beatdown of the Butler Bulldogs, Auriemma secured his 1,099th victory as a head coach, one more than Summitt’s 1,098.
