Postseason ACColades Roll in for Women's Basketball Student-Athletes
April 4, 2008 GREENSBORO, N.C. - North Carolina's Erlana Larkins and Maryland's Crystal Langhorne and Kristi Toliver led the Atlantic Coast Conference in postseason accolades, as all three were named to the AP All-America Second Team and the US Basketball Writers' Association (USBWA) All-America team. Seven more ACC student-athletes earned AP honorable mention. Langhorne and Toliver spearheaded a Terrapin run to the Elite Eight. Langhorne - the ACC Player of the Year and Scholar-Athlete of the Year - poured in a team-best 17.3 points and 9.4 boards per game. With the honor, Langhorne became the first three-time All-American in Maryland basketball history. Toliver also had a stand-out year, as she broke the ACC's single-season assists record with 275 while averaging a league-best 7.43 helpers per game. Toliver was a major scoring threat as well, proven by a 35-point outburst in the Terps' loss to Stanford. She averaged 17.1 ppg on the season.
Three ACC student-athletes were also invited to the WNBA Pre-Draft Camp, held April 4-5 at the University of Tampa. They include 2008 Women's Three-Point Shooting Contest winner Chioma Nnamaka (Georgia Tech), Wanisha Smith (Duke) and Sharnee Zoll (Virginia). AP All-America Second Team:
