For the second consecutive year, Virginia Cavaliers guard Reece Beekman has won the ACC’s Defensive Player of the Year award with teammate Ryan Dunn finishing second in the DPOY voting a mere eight points behind him. It’s the first time a player has won the award repeatedly since North Carolina’s John Henson in 2011 and 2012.
