Douglas was named to the squad for the second year in a row, and Keeran made the team for the first time in her career.
Wake Forest, the regular-season ACC champion, led all teams with six honorees on the team. The Duke Blue Devils and Maryland Terrapins each had three players selected, and Virginia had one.
