Emery, a senior from Tampa, Florida, earned first-team All-ACC honors, as voted on by the league’s head coaches, and second-team honors, as voted on by a blue ribbon panel of media members who cover the league. She became the first Tech player in program history to make the All-ACC first team after a regular season in which she averaged a team-best 17.9 points per game. Magarity, a redshirt senior from Norrkoping, Sweden, became the fifth Tech player ever to receive All-ACC recognition—Emery earned it last season. Magarity received second-team recognition from both the blue ribbon panel and the coaches after averaging a double-double during the regular season (14.4 ppg, 12.9 rpg). She led the conference in rebounding. by Jimmy Robertson Mabrey, a freshman from Belmar, New Jersey, made the All- Freshman Team after a regular season in which she averaged 11.8 points per game and ranked second in the nation in 3-point field-goal percentage (47.7 percent).
