ATLANTA – Virginia freshman Stephanie Harris has been selected to the All-Atlantic Coast Conference second team, the league office announced Friday.

Harris, a native of Knoxville, Tenn., has started every game for the Cavaliers this season at either first base or third base. She paces the UVa offense with a .322 average and a team-best 28 RBI. Harris also has nine doubles, three triples and 10 stolen bases on the year. In ACC games, she hit a team-best .347.

It is the second consecutive year a Virginia freshman has been honored as an All-ACC selection. Pitcher Melanie Mitchell was a first-team honoree a year ago.
