CHARLOTTE – Senior forward Rose Micheaux was selected as the ACC Player of the Week, the conference office announced Monday afternoon. Micheaux helped the Hokies to two victories last week with two 20-point performances, her first such games in ACC play in her career.
Thursday at No. 13 Georgia Tech, she and the Hokies handed the Jackets their first loss of the season despite trailing by as many as nine points late in the third quarter. Micheaux notched a double-double with 20 points and 12 rebounds. She was a part of a starting five that all scored 17 or more points in the game, a first for the program. The Hokies also scored 105 points, the most in an ACC game in program history.
Sunday afternoon, she again was a part of history as she went 9-for-9 from the field in a 20-point performance. The nine field goals without a miss ties a program record for a single game.
The Hokies are back on Carillon Clinic Court at Cassell Coliseum on Thursday, Jan. 16 for a tilt against rival Virginia. Tipoff is set for 6 p.m.
