RALEIGH, N.C. (December 20) -- NC State freshman Marshall Williams was named the ACC Rookie of the Week by a voting panel of the Atlantic Coast Sportswriters Association.

Williams, 6-4 of Milwaukee, Wisc., led the Pack to an 85-50 win over Liberty on Dec. 17. Williams scored a team-high 17 points off the bench against the Flames. He finished the game 5-of-11 from the field, while adding four rebounds and two steals. He was also a presence on defense. Williams was matched up on LUs top scorer Carl Williams, who entered the game shooting 19.9 ppg while shooting 46 percent from three-point range, for much of the game. Against the Pack, Williams went just 5-of-22 from the field including 1-of-3 from three-point range.

Williams is averaging 19.9 minutes per game, tops among all Wolfpack reserves, while contributing 7.0 points and 3.0 rebounds.
