Senior guard Telisha Quarles was named both Cavalier of the Year and Best Offensive Player. Quarles averaged 15.7 points per game.
Defensive Player of the Year went to Anna Crosswhite, who was also recognized for her athletic and academic performance, winning the Bob Williams Award.
Freshman Brandi Teamer won Rookie of the Year for the Cavaliers in an unsurprising decision. Teamer averaged 14.3 points and 8.9 rebounds per game.
Dennis named ACC Player of the Week
Senior Kristen Dennis was selected ACC Softball Player of the Week yet again this week. Dennis has now earned this honor four times. Dennis batted .400 last week to help Virginia win all five of its games.
Dennis hit three home runs and nine RBI. She only allowed four runs in 20 innings, striking out 34 batters. Two of the runs scored on her watch were earned, and Dennis only walked four batters.
Dennis has had a standout year, thus far batting .405 on the season with 13 home runs and a .755 slugging percentage from behind the plate.
Facing the plate she has struck out 258 batters, walking only 39. Dennis helped lead the team to a 9-1 victory in the second game of a doubleheader Wednesday against James Madison.
