RALEIGH – Redshirt junior guard Dominique Wilson of the NC State women's basketball team (16-6, 7-2 ACC) has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week for the week of January 25-31, the league office announced Monday afternoon. This comes just a few hours after she received similar honors from College Sports Madness.
The ACC Blue Ribbon Panel—comprised of the league's media members and sports information directors—selects the league's Player of the Week and Rookie of the Week throughout the regular season. Louisville's Asia Durr claimed Rookie of the Week honors.
Wilson continued her streak of incredible basketball this past week, scoring 45 total points in home wins over Virginia (63-52) and UNC-Chapel Hill (78-49). She led all scorers in both games, scoring 24 points on 10-22 shooting in the win over Virginia and 21 points on 7-13 shooting in the 29-point win over UNC-Chapel Hill. Wilson also averaged 3.5 assists and 3.0 steals per game. The Georgia native entered the week as the No. 2 scorer in ACC games this season and has scored 166 points in the last seven games (23.7 per game).
Wilson is the first NC State player to earn ACC Player of the Week honors since Markeisha Gatling did so on December 23, 2013.
