GREENSBORO, N.C. - Freshman Camille Collier and junior Alex Tchangoue were named to the Atlantic Coast Conference's All-Academic team, as announced Thursday by the ACC at the league championships in Greensboro, N.C.
To be eligible for consideration, a student-athlete must have earned a 3.00 grade point average for the previous semester and maintained a 3.00 cumulative average during her academic career.
Of the 11 student-athletes named to the list, Tchangoue is one of just five who picked up repeat honors. Tchangoue, an Orleans, France native, is a leading Demon Deacon scorer averaging 11.4 points per game and 6.8 rebounds. Early in conference season, Tchangoue faced the tremendous challenge of taking over at the point following a season-ending injury from starting point guard Camille Collier.
Collier is one of four freshman honorees on the 2008 All-Academic list. The Washington, D.C. native played in 23 contests and earned eight starts before her stress fracture diagnosis at the end of January. On January 20, Collier picked up a career-high 21 points at Boston College and matched the mark in the team's next contest against Savannah State.
