Howard has registered 11 double-doubles this season and averaged 13.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 1.5 blocks, while shooting 51 percent from the floor.

“Natasha just does it all for us – rebounding, defending, scoring, you name it,” Florida State coach Sue Semrau said. “We’ve been able to count on her for a double-double nearly every night the past two years so it’s no surprise she’s received this honor.”

She ranks fourth in the conference in blocks and also is among the top 15 in the league in scoring, rebounds, steals and field goal percentage.

Howard had 18 points and ACC-best 18 rebounds at Georgia Tech in January and had 20-point games versus Miami and Stetson.

Joining Howard are senior guards Alexa Deluzio and Leonor Rodriguez on the 10-member Blue Ribbon Panel first team. Three first-team award winners is an FSU record.

“This season has been a true team effort so it’s fitting that four of our upperclassmen and leaders have earned these awards from the ACC,” Semrau said. “I’m so proud of each of them. After the season we had a year ago, this team was determined to right the ship and these four players led the charge.”

The Seminoles finished fourth in the ACC for the ninth time since 2001 with an 11-7 mark in conference play and a 21-8 overall record.

The ACC coaches also selected Deluzio and Rodriguez for the Head Coaches All-ACC First Team, while Howard was named to the Coaches Second Team. The Sixth Player of the Year award was only voted on by the coaches.

Rodriguez and Deluzio were named to ACC Women’s Basketball Digest’s Second Team All-ACC Team, while Howard picked up All-ACC Third Team honors from the publication as well as All-ACC Defensive Team honors.
