COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Maryland center/forward Crystal Langhorne was named the Atlantic Coast Conference's Rookie of the Week for the fourth time this season, tying a school record. Helping the Terrapins to a 2-0 week, she averaged 15.0 points and 9.5 rebounds per game.
Langhorne (Willingboro, N.J./Willingboro) posted her league-leading 10th double-double of the season in Maryland's win at Clemson on Sunday. The conference's leading rebounder, she had 12 points and 13 rebounds. Earlier in the week, she was nearly perfect from the field in the Terps' 84-67 win over Georgia Tech. She went 8-for-9 from the field en route to 18 points in 28 minutes of action. She also registered career highs of three assists and three steals in the victory.
