Reigan Richardson, the leading scorer on the Duke women’s basketball team last season, made the Preseason All-ACC Team on Tuesday.
Richardson averaged 12.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.0 steals per game in 2023-24.
Her biggest moment came in the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament when she scored 25 points against Richmond and 28 points against the Ohio State Buckeyes while shooting 58.3% from the floor and 62.5% from 3-point range. The two performances helped propel Duke to the Sweet 16 for the first time in six years.
Richardson put together seven 20-point performances throughout her junior season, including 23 points against Notre Dame and 22 points against Virginia Tech, and she added 15 points to Duke’s top-10 upset of the NC State Wolfpack in February.
Richardson earned 202 points in the All-ACC voting, the ninth-most in the conference. No other Blue Devil finished within the top 10 despite Duke finishing third in the predicted standings.
Fighting Irish star Hannah Hidalgo led the way with a staggering 921 points, including 62 Player of the Year votes on 79 total ballots. Two other Notre Dame players finished on the all-conference team while NC State and Florida State also had multiple players on the roster.
