COLLEGE PARK, Md. -
For the second time this week, Maryland junior Crystal Langhorne has earned All-America honors. Langhorne was selected one of the top 10 players in the nation by the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA), a recognition she earned for the second year in a row.
Crystal Langhorne (Willingboro, N.J./Willingboro) was one of six repeat selections on the 10-player list and the only junior in the ACC to be named. Three juniors overall were named to the team, as well as five seniors and two sophomores.
Langhorne led the nation with an ACC-record 70.7 percent shooting from the field. She led the team with 14.9 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. She recorded her third-straight 500-point season, becoming the first player in school history to accomplish that feat.
A three-time All-ACC selection, Langhorne also became the first two-time All-American in the history of the program earlier this week, when she garnered Associated Press honors for the second-straight year.
The USBWA was formed in 1956 and has named a women's All-America team since the 1996-97 season.
