GREENSBORO, N.C. – Tziarra King and Kia Rankin were named All-ACC selections, as announced by the conference office on Thursday. King was selected to the All-ACC Third Team, while both King and Rankin were honorees on the All-ACC Freshman Team.
The honors mark the first time in program history that NC State has placed two on the All-ACC Freshman Team in a single season. The freshmen currently lead the Wolfpack attack in points and goals and have combined to score the last five goals for NC State.
King holds the team lead in both points and goal with 17 points from 8 goals and 1 assist. The Sicklerville, N.J., native is currently top-10 in NC State freshmen records for points and goals. Rankin is tied for second on the team with 13 points from five goals and three assists.
