GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – Boston College senior forward Emma Guy and North Carolina junior center Janelle Bailey have been named Atlantic Coast Conference Women’s Basketball Co-Players of the Week, and Pitt guard Dayshanette Harris is the ACC Freshman of the Week.
ACC women’s basketball weekly awards are voted on by the league’s Blue Ribbon Panel.
Guy averaged 20.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals per game to help lead Boston College to a perfect 2-0 week, highlighted by a road win at No. 14 Florida State. Against the Seminoles last Thursday, she scored a game-high 21 points on 10-of-16 shooting from the floor as the Eagles earned their first win against a ranked opponent since 2015 and first versus FSU since 2010.
The Penfield, New York, native followed that performance with her third double-double of the season against Wake Forest. Guy led all players in the contest with 20 points on 10-of-13 shooting and grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds.
For the week, Guy scored 41 points, shot 69 percent from the floor (20-of-29) and pulled down 17 rebounds, including nine offensive boards. Additionally, she became the 27th player in BC history to surpass 1,000 career points.
Bailey put together a pair of 20-point performances to lead North Carolina to home wins against Virginia and Clemson. On Thursday against the Cavaliers, she scored a game-high 23 points to go along with a game-high 17 rebounds to notch her 11th double-double of the season, which ties for the ACC lead.
Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, Bailey poured in 23 points and pulled down nine rebounds against Clemson to help the Tar Heels earn consecutive ACC wins for the first time this season. Her performance also marked the first time she’s logged consecutive 20+ point games this year.
For the week, Bailey averaged 23.0 points, 13.0 rebounds and shot 61.3 percent from the floor (19-of-31).
Harris led the Panthers in scoring in both games last week, as Pitt defeated Wake Forest and came up short against 14th-ranked Florida State. She netted a game-high 13 points with seven rebounds, three assists, a career-high three blocks and two steals against the Demon Deacons last Thursday.
In Saturday’s game against FSU, the Youngstown, Ohio, native posted 17 points and added seven rebounds. Harris has scored in double figures eight times this season, including four consecutive games.
For the week, she averaged 15.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.
ACC women’s basketball action returns on Thursday, February 6, with a full slate of conference games, including an ACC Network doubleheader as Duke hosts North Carolina at 6 p.m. and 14th-ranked Florida State travels to No. 5 Louisville for an 8 p.m. tip-off.
