GREENSBORO, N.C. - Wake Forest women's basketball player Tonia Brown was named to the All-Atlantic Coast Conference third team, as voted on by 46 members of the Atlantic Coast Sports Writers Association and announced by the league office on Tuesday. Brown, a sophomore guard from Roanoke, Va., was the top vote-getter on the third team and received one vote for the first team.
Brown, who is Wake Forest's leading scorer (14.0 ppg) ranked among the ACC leaders in four different categories. She was 10th in scoring, third in three-point field goal percentage (.343), third in three-pointers per game (2.26) and third in steals (2.22). Her productivity increased in ACC games only, as she ranked seventh in scoring (15.2 ppg), ninth in field goal percentage (.380), and second in three-point percentage (.362), three-pointers per game (2.88) and steals (2.38).
Heading into the ACC Tournament, Brown has knocked down 61 three-pointers this season, tying Wake Forest's single-season record set by Heidi Coleman in 1996-97 . She scored at least one three-pointer in every ACC game this season and is currently riding a streak of 16 straight games with at least one three-point field goal. She already ranks sixth on WFU's career chart with 81 treys.
Brown led the Demon Deacons in steals (60) this year, as her season total ranks 10th on Wake's single-season list. She also played a team-high 30.2 minutes per game and was second on the squad in assists (2.5).
Brown is the 13th player in Wake Forest history to be named to an All-ACC team, and is the first since Tracy Connor was a first-team selection in 1996.
