GREENSBORO, N.C. - Maryland's Marissa Coleman and Crystal Langhorne were named to the ACC's 10-player All-Tournament team, which was announced at the conclusion of the 30th-annual ACC Women's Basketball Tournament. Both were second-team selections as they led Maryland to the team's fourth-straight semifinal.

Junior Crystal Langhorne (Willingboro, N.J./Willingboro) was voted to the all-star team for the third-straight year. She was named the Player of the Game in the Terps' quarterfinal win over Georgia Tech where she nearly had a double-double, netting 18 points and nine rebounds.

She posted a double-double against the Yellow Jackets, tallying 16 points and 11 rebounds. She also added three assists and two blocks in that game. She followed up with a 18-point, eight-rebound performance in the semifinals vs. North Carolina.

Langhorne was a two-time first team honoree entering this year's tournament. Coleman was a first team all-tournament selection as a freshman.
