CHESTNUT HILL, MA - Boston College freshman Stefanie Murphy was named the ACC Rookie of the Week as announced by the conference office today.

Murphy, a native from Londonderry, NH, led Boston College on a three win week. Murphy, who recorded two double-doubles, averaged 23.6 points (27-for-38, 71 percent from the field) and 11.2 rebounds in the three games.
