It's a homecoming for Moore, a former University of Connecticut standout.

The 6-foot-3 center helped the Huskies win NCAA championships in 2002, 2003 and 2004. The 24th pick of the 2005 WNBA Draft, Moore has played six seasons with Charlotte, Los Angeles and Indiana.

The signing also makes the Sun the home of both Alaskans in WNBA: former Chugiak High star Kelsey Griffin is in her second season with the team.

Moore, a two-time Gatorade Alaska Player of the Year at Colony, was in uniform but did not play Saturday when the Sun opened the season with a 89-73 home win over the Washington Mystics at Mohegan Sun Arena.
