Anna Moser first caught the attention of the basketball world as a freshman guard from Rutland, where she reeled off 52 straight free throws, a feat that left her private coach Chuck McDonough both impressed and amused.
Her work ethic was not a fleeting spark; she pushed the streak to 64 consecutive makes, driven by a perfectionist mindset that turned every missed shot into a personal challenge.
A New Chapter in Gainesville
After two seasons at Rutland, Moser transferred to Hoosac, leading the team to the NEPSAC AAA girls basketball championship and earning Vermont’s Gatorade Player of the Year in 2024.
The move also opened doors to the national stage, where offers from Power 4 programs began to surface, culminating in her commitment to the University of Florida.
Moser cited her existing relationship with Florida coach Tammi Reiss and the program’s vision as decisive factors, joining a small but growing list of Vermonters in SEC women’s basketball.
Now based in Gainesville, she balances academics and athletics while continuing to train with McDonough, whose long‑term mentorship she credits for her steady rise.
Looking ahead, Moser aims to excel at the collegiate level and eventually pursue a career in the WNBA, a path that analysts say could see her outperform early low rankings.
