GREENSBORO, North Carolina –
Senior forward John Mooney, who led the Atlantic Coast Conference in rebounding and double-doubles, has been named to the All-ACC First Team as announced by the league on Monday morning.
Mooney becomes the third Notre Dame student-athlete to earn first-team honors in the ACC (Jerian Grant, 2015 and Bonzie Colson, 2017) and the 17th Irish player to earn first-team all-conference honors in both the ACC and BIG EAST. He also becomes just the second Notre Dame player to earn ACC all-conference honors in consecutive seasons, joining Pat Connaughton who was named to the All-ACC third team in 2014 and 2015.
Mooney finished the regular season averaging 16.5 points per game, 12.8 rebounds per game and set the ACC record for double-doubles in league play with 16 in 20 games.
