WBB: Brittney Sykes Named to All-ACC Coaches' Second Team

And the results are in.

Brittney Sykes was selected for the All-ACC Coaches' Second Team, the league announced on Monday.  Voting for the poll is done by ACC coaches.  Of the 15 players who made the top two teams, Sykes is one of only five underclassmen and the only Syracuse player to be honored.

Syked led the Orange in scoring this season with 16.7 points per game and was a vital part of Syracuse's fast break offense.  She has scored 519 points, the fifth highest total in SU single-season history.  She is 23 points away from tying Chandrea Jones for fourth place.

After averaging 8.9 points per game as a freshman, she's nearly doubled that total this season.  She has started every game for Syracuse and scored in double-digits in the majority of them.  Her best performance came against Virginia Tech, when she scored a career-high 31 points.
