Two members of the Virginia women's basketball team received awards from the ACC Monday. Brandi Teamer was given the ACC rookie of the week award and her teammate, Telisha Quarles, was named ACC player of the week.
Quarles, a senior guard from Louisa, helped lead the Cavaliers to three conference victories this week. She scored an average of 16 points per game while shooting 45 percent from the floor. Virginia's wins came against ACC opponents Georgia Tech, Wake Forest and Maryland.
For the sixth time this year, Teamer, from Joliet, Ill., received the rookie of the week award. The freshman averaged 14.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in Virginia's three victories. Teamer's best outing was against Wake Forest, where she posted 19 points on 8 for 15 shooting in addition to seven rebounds.
