COLLEGE PARK, Md. -
Two Terrapins received ACC honors today heading into this week's ACC Tournament, including senior guard Renneika Razor (New York, N.Y.) and freshman forward Chrissy Fisher (Rumson, N.J.). Razor received the first all-ACC nod of her career, landing on the second team. The honor marked Maryland's highest individual conference accolade since Kalisa Davis was named second-team All-ACC in 1998. Razor accumulated 97 votes, and was the top vote-getter on the second team. She was also named to the ACC's all-defensive squad for the second year in a row.
Fisher received ACC all-freshman team honors, earning 31 votes, the third-highest total. The sharp-shooter is the Terps' third consecutive all-freshman honoree, including
Anesia Smith (Alexandria, Va.) last year and
Kiki Wimbush in 2001.
ACC honors are voted on by ACSMA, the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association, except for the all-defense team, which is voted on by the league's nine head coaches.
Maryland (10-17, 4-12 ACC) enters the ACC Tournament as the No. 8 seed and will play No. 7 seed Clemson (13-13, 5-11 ACC) on Friday, March 7 at 6 p.m. in Greensboro, N.C., at the Greensboro Coliseum.
