A late Christmas present was handed out as Louisville guard Chrislyn Carr was named ACC Player of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday afternoon. She had one of the best games of her collegiate career with 21 points and a career-high 17 rebounds in the road win over DePaul.
Her 21 points were the most she had scored in a Louisville uniform while the career-high 17 rebounds were the most by a Louisville player since the 2017-18 season. No other Louisville guard has tallied more than 17 rebounds in a single game in program history.
The 17 rebounds were the second most in the NCAA by a guard in a single game this season. She is the only guard in the ACC to have a double-double with 20+ points and 15+ rebounds this season. Her 17 rebounds are also the most in a game by an ACC guard this season. The 17 rebounds were also the most rebounds by any ACC player in a game this past week.
On the season, Carr is tied for the team lead in assists per game (3.3) and is second on the team in scoring (11.1). Carr and the Cardinals are back in action on Thursday as they return home to the KFC Yum! Center for their first home game in over three weeks. Louisville hosts Syracuse on Thursday, Dec. 29, at 7 p.m. ET with the game streamed on ACCNX. The Cardinals are hosting a fundraiser for Pediatric Cancer Awareness at Thursday’s game and fans can find more info here.
