For the second consecutive season, North Carolina forward LaQuanda Barksdale has earned a spot on the All-Atlantic Coast Conference first team.

She was the leading vote getter, with 183 points out of a possible 192.
Also earning All-ACC honors was sophomore guard Coretta Brown, who was voted to the second team. Carolina's starter at the point, she averages 16.3 points and a league-best 6.6 assists per game.
Both Barksdale and Brown have started every game this season for the Tar Heels, who are 14-13 (7-9) heading into the ACC Tournament, which begins Friday in Greensboro, N.C. UNC is the No. 7 seed and opens play at 6 p.m. against No. 8 seed Georgia Tech.
