DURHAM — For the second time this season, Duke women's basketball rookie Shayeann Day-Wilson has been named ACC Freshman of the Week, as announced by the league office on Monday.
A native of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Day-Wilson helped lead Duke to ACC victories at Miami and at home against Virginia this week to move the Blue Devils to 13-4 overall and 4-3 in the ACC.
She averaged 12.0 points, 5.0 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals on the week, while hitting 10-of-12 field goals. Day-Wilson continues to lead all true freshman in the ACC in scoring (12.0) and assists (3.5).
On the road at Miami, Day-Wilson collected 11 points, a career-high seven assists and pulled down three rebounds. The 5-5 point guard hit 4-of-8 field goals.
Day-Wilson closed the week against Virginia on Sunday with a team-high 13 points, three assists, a career-high three steals and one rebound. She also hit 6-of-12 field goals.
The rookie has started each of the last four games since junior Celeste Taylor was injured. Day-Wilson had to step up even more on Sunday with starter Miela Goodchild out as well. Over the last four contests, Day-Wilson has averaged 12.0 points, 4.5 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 0.8 steals.
Taylor Soule of Boston College was selected ACC Player of the Week.
Duke will next host North Carolina on Thursday, Jan. 27 at 7 p.m., live on ACC Network Extra.
