Duke University standout freshman Elizabeth Williams
has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Rookie of the Week
on Monday, after leading the seventh-ranked Blue Devils (12-2, 3-0 ACC)
to three league wins this past week.
The
honor for Williams is the fourth of the season, which is the third-most
by a Blue Devil in school history.
Williams
helped lead the Blue Devils to wins over Virginia (77-66), Wake Forest (76-58) and N.C. State (83-59).
For the week, she averaged 11.7 points, 10.0 rebounds, 7.0

Williams was also named the College Sports Madness ACC Player of the Week on Monday for her efforts.
Low: Chloe Wells to Miss Remainder of the 2011-12 Season
Blue Devil sophomore Chloe Wells will not be enrolled at Duke University for the spring 2012 semester due to violation of university policy, as announced on Tuesday.
A
native of Colton, Calif., Wells had started the first 10 games for the
Blue Devils averaging 10.4 points, 4.0 assists, 3.6 steals and 2.1
rebounds. The 5-7 guard scored double-figures in eight of the 10
contests she played in.
“We love Chloe and she is a valuable member of the Duke women’s basketball family,” said head coach Joanne P. McCallie. “I look forward to her returning to full eligibility for the 2012-13 campaign.”
Tickets are available for the contest and it can also be seen live on RSN-TV.
