Dominant performances in two Tar Heel wins last week have led to Atlantic Coast Conference honors for North Carolina junior Janelle Bailey. The UNC center has been named Co-ACC Women's Basketball Player of the Week, as announced Monday by the league.
Bailey, a communication studies major from Charlotte, averaged 23 points and 13 rebounds last week as UNC earned homecourt wins against Virginia (78-68) and Clemson (86-72) to improve to 16-6 overall and 7-4 in ACC play.
"Janelle was a dominant and consistent force in our sweep last week," UNC coach Courtney Banghart said.
