She was 12-of-17 from the beyond the arc for 61.1 percent and has now made an ACC-leading 49 three-pointers on the season. In the win over FIU, Douglas dished-out four assists and also tied a career-high with six rebounds. The Rock Hill, S.C., native averaged 30.5 points in the two games and was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player.
