CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – Virginia Tech senior forward Rose Micheaux has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week, and Louisville guard Tajianna Roberts earned Rookie of the Week honors for games played between January 6-12.
ACC women’s basketball weekly awards are voted on by the league’s Blue Ribbon Panel.
Micheaux recorded back-to-back 20-point efforts in a pair of ACC wins last week for the Hokies. The Wayne, Michigan, native opened the week with her fifth double-double of the season in the Hokies’ 105-94 double-overtime victory at No. 13 Georgia Tech. The forward finished with 20 points and 12 rebounds, becoming the first ACC player to post a double-double against the Yellow Jackets this season. On Sunday, Micheaux tied a program record by going 9-for-9 from the field en route to a game-high 20 points with nine rebounds in Virginia Tech’s 61-54 win over Wake Forest.
Roberts averaged 16.5 points and shot 45.2 percent (14-for-31) from the field to lead Louisville to a perfect 2-0 record last week, extending the Cardinals’ winning streak to six straight wins. In Thursday’s victory over Pitt, the San Diego, California, native led all scorers with 17 points, as she knocked down five 3-pointers, the most of her collegiate career. On Sunday, the guard recorded her sixth straight game scoring in double figures with a team-best 16 points to lead the Cardinals to their first ranked win of the season over No. 13 Georgia Tech. Within Louisville’s winning streak, Roberts is averaging a team-high 16.7 points per game.
Six ACC teams are currently ranked in the Associated Press (AP) Top 25, with Notre Dame leading the way at No. 3.
