CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – Florida State junior guard Ta’Niya Latson has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week, and Duke forward Toby Fournier earned Rookie of the Week honors for games played between January 13-19.
ACC women’s basketball weekly awards are voted on by the league’s Blue Ribbon Panel.
Latson posted a pair of 20-point efforts last week, including her seventh 30-point performance of the season, as she led the Seminoles to a pair of ACC home wins over Clemson and Miami. In Thursday’s 82-67 win over the Tigers, the Miami, Florida, native tallied 20 points and 10 assists with four steals for her fourth double-double of the season. On Sunday, the guard led all scorers with 30 points and finished a perfect 5-for-5 from 3-point range, leading FSU to a program-record 18 made 3-pointers.
Fournier averaged 16.0 points and 8.5 rebounds to lead Duke to two league wins over No. 16 California and Stanford last week. The Toronto, Ontario, native began her week with 23 points and a career-high 11 rebounds for her first collegiate double-double in a 72-38 victory over the nationally-ranked Golden Bears. In Sunday’s 74-49 win over the Cardinal, Fournier dropped in nine points and grabbed six rebounds.
Six ACC teams are currently ranked in the Associated Press (AP) Top 25, with Notre Dame leading the way at No. 3. North Carolina moved up to No. 13, Duke is No. 14, Georgia Tech is No. 18, NC State climbed to No. 20 and California is No. 22.
