WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Former Demon Deacon Lisa Dodd has been named to the 2014 class of ACC Tournament Legends as announced by the conference on Thursday.
The leading scorer and rebounder on Wake's Forest first NCAA Tournament team (1988), Lisa Dodd left her mark on the Demon Deacon's record book. She holds school records in blocks for a career (153), blocks in a season (61) and single-season field goal percentage (64.7 percent).
During her outstanding sophomore campaign in which she led the Deacons to a school-record 23 wins, Dodd started every game, scored 13.9 points per game and pulled down 7.6 rebounds per game en route to being named second team All-ACC. Furthermore, Dodd led the nation in shooting percentage, as she converted over 64 percent of her attempts from the floor.
An All-America selection coming out of high school, Dodd battled a knee injury that caused her to miss parts of two seasons, as well as redshirt one season. Prior to the knee injury, Dodd averaged 10.9 points per game and 6.5 rebounds per game.
Dodd was a four-year letterwinner from 1986-91 and graduated with a degree in Health and Sports Science in May of 1991.
The Legends will be honored at the annual ACC Women's Basketball Legends' Luncheon on Saturday, March 8, at 1 p.m., and then will be introduced to the Coliseum crowd at halftime of the first semifinal game that evening. The ACC Women's Basketball Legends program honors both players and coaches from each of the ACC's 15 schools who have contributed to the league's rich tradition.
