CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia women’s basketball senior Faith Randolph (Derwood, Md.) has been nominated for the 2016 Allstate WBCA and NABC Good Works Teams, the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBC), the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) and Allstate Insurance Company announced on Wednesday (Dec. 2).

Randolph is one of an all-time high 257 nominees, including 70 among Division I, for this year’s team. The WBCA and NABC Good Works Team recognizes players at all levels of college basketball who have made outstanding contributions in the areas of volunteerism and civic involvement.

A two-time ACC Academic Honor Roll member, Randolph has been a leader on the court as well as participating in numerous community service activities during her time as a Cavalier. During her third year she spent time working with UVA’s ACE (Athletes Committed to Community and Education), where she attended an elementary school classroom once a week.

She has also volunteered with Habitat for Humanity, cooking dinner for families staying at the Charlottesville Ronald McDonald House, taken part in the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank’s Stuff-A-Truck event, attended literacy events to support local elementary school students and helped promote heart health awareness during Wear Red Week at the UVA Health System.

Randolph is one of seven student-athletes from the Atlantic Coach Conference among the nominees. The list will be narrowed down to two 10-member teams comprised of five student-athletes from the Division I level and five each from Divisions II, III and NAIA.

On the court this season, Randolph is leading UVA with 13.1 points per game and adding 4.7 rebounds. She has scored in double figures in five of the seven contests, including a season-high 18 points against Tulane.
