GREENSBORO, N.C.—Virginia sophomore guard Sylven Landesberg (Flushing, N.Y.) is a second-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference selection for the 2009-10 season. The All-ACC selections were announced Monday (March 8) after balloting conducted by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association.

Landesberg did not play in Virginia’s final game of the regular season against Maryland last Saturday (March 6) and will not play in the ACC Men’s Basketball Tournament this week (March 11-14) in Greensboro, N.C.

Landesberg ranks fifth in the ACC in scoring, sixth in free throw percentage, eighth in field goal percentage (.443, 166-375) and ninth in minutes played.

The All-ACC first team is comprised of Greivis Vasquez (Maryland), Jon Scheyer (Duke), Malcolm Delaney (Virginia Tech), Trevor Booker (Clemson) and Kyle Singler (Duke). Joining Landesberg on the All-ACC second team are Al-Farouq Aminu (Wake Forest), Nolan Smith (Duke), Tracy Smith (NC State) and Ishmael Smith (Wake Forest).
