North Carolina senior guard Paris Kea was named Atlantic Coast Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week, and espnW National Player of the Week on Monday just a day after her historic performance led the Tar Heels to victory over the nation’s No. 1 team.
Kea’s 30-point, 10-assist performance on Sunday afternoon sparked the team’s offensive outburst, including a 28-17 third quarter edge for the Tar Heels which ultimately led to the biggest upset of the season in women’s college hoops.
Kea put together her best overall performance of the season against the Irish, knocking down 11-of-17 shots from the floor, and 5-of-8 from three-point range.
