GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – Louisville junior guard Dana Evans has been named Atlantic Coast Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week, and Clemson forward Amari Robinson is the ACC Freshman of the Week.

ACC women’s basketball weekly awards are voted on by the league’s Blue Ribbon Panel.

Evans led the fifth-ranked Cardinals to road wins at Boston College and North Carolina, averaging a team-high 24.5 points per game, while shooting 48 percent from the floor during the week. She also was 10-of-17 from 3-point range and a perfect 9-of-9 from the free throw line.

The Gary, Indiana, native finished with a game-high 27 points in Louisville’s 81-70 win at Boston College, which was just one point shy of her career-high. She tied her career high with seven made threes in that contest, shooting 7-of-10 from deep. Evans led the team with 23 points while adding six assists in the Cards’ 74-67 win at North Carolina.

She claims ACC Player of the Week for the second time this season.
 
Robinson paced the Tigers in scoring average in a pair of home ACC wins last week. She finished one rebound shy of a double-double against Pitt with 20 points and nine rebounds in an overtime victory for Clemson. The freshman ended that game 12-of-13 from the free throw line.

On Sunday, Robinson again scored in double-figures as the Tigers led from start to finish in a win over Duke, snapping a 23-game losing streak to the Blue Devils. Hailing from Douglasville, Georgia, she scored 16 points and pulled down nine rebounds, the second consecutive game that she finished one board shy of a double-double.

For the week, she averaged 18.0 points and 9.0 rebounds per game, while connecting on 20-of-23 free throws.

ACC women’s basketball action returns on Thursday, January 23, with a full slate of conference games, including an ACC Network and RSN doubleheader. Miami hosts Clemson at 6 p.m. and Syracuse welcomes Duke at 8 p.m. on ACC Network, while North Carolina visits Georgia Tech at 6 p.m. and Virginia travels to No. 5 Louisville at 8 p.m. on RSN.
