GREENSBORO, N.C. - Maryland made a clean sweep of this week's Atlantic Coast Conference basketball honors.

Greivis Vasquez was named ACC Player of the Week and Jordan Williams earned rookie of the week honors.

Vasquez was a unanimous selection after averaging 28.0 points, 9.5 assists and 4.5 rebounds as Maryland extended its win streak to five in a row with victories over Clemson and Virginia Tech. He won the award for the second straight week, fourth time this season and eighth in his career.

In Wednesday's 88-79 win over the visiting Tigers, the Caracus, Venezuela, senior turned in his 12th career double-double with 15 points, 13 assists and two rebounds.

Three nights later in a 104-100 double-overtime road victory over the Hokies, Vasquez scored a career-high 41 points to go along with seven rebounds and six assists. Vasquez's 41 points mark only the fifth time in league history that a player has scored 40-or-more points in a conference road game.

Williams averaged 13.5 points and 10.0 rebounds in Maryland's two games. He won the award for the second time this season.

The freshman had 18 points on 8 of 12 field-goal attempts vs. Clemson, and pulled down a career-high 15 rebounds, scored nine points and blocked two shots against Virginia Tech.

Vasquez, Williams and the Terps will face Duke at 9 p.m. Wednesday at Comcast Center.
