LOUISVILLE, Ky. — For the second straight season, Louisville senior guard Dana Evans has been named Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Player of the Year.

Several other members of the women's basketball team received honors, including junior guard Mykasa Robinson, who was named to the All-Defensive Team. Freshmen Olivia Cochran and Hailey Van Lith were also named to the All-Freshman Team.

Evans joins Asia Durr as the only players in program history to earn conference player of the year multiple times, and Evans is the ninth player in ACC history to win the award back-to-back. Evans was selected for the title by the league's Blue Ribbon Panel and the ACC's head coaches.

This isn't the only time Evans has made history. Last season, she became the first player in league history to go from winning ACC Sixth Player of the Year to winning ACC Player of the Year the following season.

This marks the fourth straight year a Card has held the conference's top honor. Louisville now joins Duke as the only two programs with the ACC Player of the Year in four consecutive years.

It's also the fifth time in the last six seasons that a UofL player has been named ACC Player of the Year. Durr earned the title in 2018 and 2019 while Myisha Hines-Allen earned the honor following the 2015-16 season.

Evans, also selected as the 2020-21 Preseason Player of the Year, leads the conference in scoring with 21.0 points per game and has tallied 17 20-point games in 23 contests for the Cards this season. Her scoring average is the sixth-best for a player in a Power 5 conference.

She's scored in the double digits at all 23 Louisville games this season and 40 straight overall, the longest streak at UofL in the last 20 years.

The senior has also connected on 93.8% of her attempts from the free-throw line, leading the ACC and ranking second nationally.

Robinson is the first UofL player named to the All-Defensive Team since Jazmine Jones and Kylee Shook both earned the honor last season.

Ranking in the top six among ACC freshmen in points and rebounds per game, Cochran and Van Lith are the first players to earn All-Freshman honors since Evans did so after the 2017-18 campaign. Louisville is the only program with two players on the All-Freshman Team.

No. 5 Louisville (21-2, 14-2) will be the 1-seed in the 2021 ACC Tournament in Greensboro, N.C. The Cardinals open play on Friday, March 5 at noon against either 8-seed North Carolina or 9-seed Wake Forest.
