DURHAM, N.C.—The individual accolades continue to roll in for Duke women's basketball's
Toby Fournier. The sophomore collected her second All-America award as a third-team selection by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association. She is one of 14 women's basketball players recognized by the association for their athletic achievements this season.
Fournier also garnered All-America third-team recognition from Sporting News and was an honorable mention pick by USA Today. She is the first Blue Devil to garner at least All-America third team honors since Lexi Brown was a third-team choice in 2018.
A two-time All-ACC First Team selection, Fournier leads the Blue Devils on both ends of the court, averaging 17.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game. She has scored in double figures in 29 of her 32 games this season and owns nine double-doubles. Fournier recently earned ACC All-Tournament Team recognition after helping the Blue Devils capture their second consecutive ACC Tournament title. She averaged 12.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.67 blocks and 2.33 steals and 2.0 assists per game in ACC Tournament action.
In conference play, Fournier averaged 18.3 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. A force inside the paint, Fournier increased her blocks total this season by 69 percent with 74 denials in her 32 outings. She ranks second in the ACC and 10th nationally in blocks per game, while her 74 blocks rank ninth in Duke single-season history.
The Toronto, Ontario native has 1,015 career points, reaching the 1,000th point benchmark in just 66 career games. Only three Blue Devils have hit the mark faster. Fournier is just 52 rebounds away from 500 caroms in her career and has already surpassed 100 blocks with 113 in her 67 career outings.
