LOUISVILLE, Ky. – University of Louisville women’s basketball’s Myisha Hines-Allen, Mariya Moore, and Asia Durr collected more postseason accolades from the Atlantic Coast Conference on Monday, league officials announced.
Sophomores Hines-Allen and Moore, who were named to the Blue Ribbon Panel all-ACC first team, earned conference first-team honors as selected by the 15 head coaches. Durr was named to the coaches’ all-freshman team, an honor she also was chosen for by the league’s media and sports information directors.
The Cardinals (25-7) reached the ACC Tournament semifinals on Saturday and now await their NCAA Tournament fate, which will be announced on ESPN’s Selection Monday show on March 14. Louisville will host a watch party at The Sports and Social Club downtown. Details will be announced later this week.
The 2016 ACC Player of the Year, Hines-Allen is pacing the Cardinals in scoring at 17.5 per game and rebounding at 8.4 per game, while connecting on an impressive 54.0 percent of her shots. She compiled 11 double-doubles this year, five in league play, and scored at least 20 points on 11 occasions.
Hines-Allen, a three-time ACC Player of the Week has pushed her name into the top 15 in multiple ACC categories: third in scoring, third in rebounding, seventh in field goal percentage, eighth in free throw percentage (.794), second in defensive rebounds (5.4), and tied for fifth in offensive rebounds (3.0).
Moore, a two-time league player of the week, is second in scoring at 14.0 and owns a team-best 142 assists. The sophomore currently is tied for 10th on the school’s single-season list for 3-pointers with 74, and she also boasts 47 steals.
A Hercules, Calif., native, Moore is 15th in the ACC in scoring, fifth in assists (4.4), 11th in free throw percentage (.770), and seventh in assist-turnover ratio (1.7).
Durr, who battled back from injury early in the year, was one of the key contributors to this year’s success. In conference play, she averaged 12.4 points on 48-percent shooting to go with 3.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals. Currently, she is 28th in the ACC in scoring (11.0) and 13th in 3-point field goal percentage (.357)
During the year, Durr was named the school’s first U.S. Basketball Writers Association National Freshman of the Week. She also secured ACC Rookie of the Week twice.
