GREENSBORO, N.C. — Notre Dame guard Sonia Citron continues to be one of the best players in the ACC, and the sophomore guard has earned another honor to prove it. Citron was named to the ACC All-Tournament Team on Sunday.
Notre Dame went into Greensboro this week as the No. 1 seed in the league after winning the regular season conference title on Feb. 26. As a result, the Irish waited until Friday to play and defeated NC State, 66-60. Citron was the hottest player on the floor that day, putting up a season-high 28 points on eight buckets and 11 made free throws. She added 9 rebounds and 5 assists as well.
Saturday’s game ended Notre Dame’s ACC Tournament trip earlier than the group would have liked, as the Irish fell to Louisville. Citron battled in that contest too, playing more than 33 minutes and posting 8 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.
Prior to this last week in Greensboro, Citron was named to the All-ACC First Team. She is Notre Dame’s leading scorer at 14.7 points per game, and she averaged 5.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists as well. Citron’s 49.5 success rate from the floor ranks second in the ACC this season amongst guards. She is also shooting 43.9 percent from deep, leading Notre Dame.
In terms of what’s next, Notre Dame will spend this week waiting to see its NCAA Tournament fate. The Irish were a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Division I Committee’s most recent seeding release.
