GREENSBORO, N.C. - Maryland junior guard Shay Doron and sophomore forward Crystal Langhorne headline this year's All-Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Women's Basketball Team after helping the Terps win their first NCAA Championship in April. Both were among the 15 student-athletes recognized following their academic accomplishments, as recently announced on by Commissioner John D. Swofford.
To be eligible for consideration, a student-athlete must have earned a 3.00 grade point average for the previous semester and maintained a 3.00 cumulative average during her academic career.

She was among the top three scorers in the league (17.2 points per game) and was second in the league in rebounding (8.6 rebounds per game). Langhorne was named All-American by the United States Basketball Writers Association and the Associated Press this season and was also the Albuquerque Region's Most Outstanding Player in the NCAA Tournament.
Three-time All-ACC selection Doron (Great Neck, N.Y./Christ the King) is a repeat honoree from previous league all-academic teams.
