GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – North Carolina freshman forward Janelle Bailey and Boston College freshman guard Milan Bolden-Morris share ACC Rookie of the Week honors, as announced Monday afternoon by the conference office and voted upon by the Blue Ribbon Panel.

Bolden-Morris scored a career-high 20 points, including five 3-pointers at Georgia Tech, while sparking a second-half comeback that fell short with 14 points. In the Eagles' win over Pittsburgh on Sunday, Bolden-Morris had 15 points, including a three at the end of the third quarter and another early in the second half that helped the Eagles pull away. Bolden-Morris averaged 17.5 points for the week, and shot 50 percent from the floor and from beyond the arc.
