It what is starting to become almost a weekly occurrence, UNC women’s basketball player Stephanie Watts has been named the ACC Rookie of the Week.

This time it was because of her huge game against NC State on Saturday. Watts put up 30 on the Wolfpack and dominated all parts of the game.
She hauled in 13 rebounds, blocked three shots, came up with five steals and topped it off with a pair of assists as well.
Against Pittsburgh last Thursday, she added 16 points and six rebounds.
Watts averaged 23.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.0 steals and 2.5 blocks in two games last week for the Tar Heels.
She leads all ACC rookies in scoring (14.4) and blocked shots (1.24), and ranks second in rebounding (7.1) and sixth in both assists (2.5) and steals (1.4) per game.
UNC (14-15) visits Virginia on Thursday at 7 p.m. Tune into WCHL for game coverage.
