GREENSBORO, N.C. – After a phenomenal rookie campaign, freshman forward Ricardo John has been named to the All-ACC Second Team and the ACC All-Freshmen Team as announced by the ACC office on Thursday morning.
John tied for the team in points with 11 behind the strength of five goals and one assist. Out of the five goals he scored, two were game-winning goals. John’s only assist of the season was on the game-winning goal against NC State.
The Trinidad and Tobago native was one of only three freshmen to make an All-ACC team this season and is the first Hokie freshman to make an All-ACC or an All-Freshman team since James Shupp made the freshmen team in 2007.
