March 6, 2008

GREENSBORO, N.C. -

Georgia Tech's Alex Montgomery highlights the All-Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Women's Basketball Team, as announced by Commissioner John D. Swofford today. Eight of the league's schools are represented on this year's academic squad, while five selections are repeat recipients.

To be eligible for consideration, a student-athlete must have earned a 3.00 grade point average for the previous semester and maintained a 3.00 cumulative average during his academic career.

Virginia Tech led all schools with three honorees on the academic team, while Wake Forest notched two on the team. Hokie junior Brittany Cook, who recorded a 2007-08 league-high mark of 36 points against Miami on Feb. 11, finished the regular season as the ACC's leading scorer, averaging 18.2 points per game.

Five of the recipients earn the accolade for the second consecutive year, while Langhorne is the only three-year honoree in the awards' history.

The 31st annual ACC Women's Basketball Tournament got underway at the Greensboro Coliseum Thursday, March 6 and will conclude on Sunday, March 9 with the championship contest slated for 1 p.m. ET.
