University of Miami women’s basketball guard Shenise Johnson has been named to the Preseason All-Atlantic Coast Conference team, as announced by the league office on Tuesday during the ACC Women’s Basketball Media Day held at the Greensboro Coliseum.
Johnson already has been named to the preseason Naismith Trophy and Wooden Award National Player of the Year watch lists and becomes the first Hurricane since Tamara James in 2005 to be named a preseason all-conference member.
Last season, Johnson led the Hurricanes to a championship appearance in the Women’s National Invitational Tournament. Along the way, she was named First Team All-ACC and made appearances on the All-ACC Defensive Team as well as the WNIT All-Tournament Team.
The Henrietta, New York native averaged 19 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game last season, becoming the only player in the ACC to rank in the top ten in each of those categories.
