COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Maryland's Crystal Langhorne was unanimously selected to the ACC All-Freshman Women's Basketball team which was announced on Wednesday. The honor is the second postseason award for the first-year player this week as she was named second team All-ACC yesterday. The all-freshman squad is voted on by the 74 members of the Atlantic Coast Sports Writers Association (ACSWA).
Langhorne (Willingboro, N.J./Willingboro) is one of two players to earn all 74 votes. She is accompanied on the All-Freshman squad by North Carolina's Erlana Larkins, also a unanimous selection, Duke's Wanisha Smith, Georgia Tech's Chioma Nnamaka and Kadijah Whittington from NC State.
Langhorne was a five-time ACC Rookie of the Week selection, earning the most weekly nods of any conference rookie, while also breaking the school record. She is the ACC's top scoring freshman with 16.8 points per game and leads the ACC with 10.3 rebounds per game. She is also second in the league with a .606 field goal percentage.
