Tiffany McCarty Named ACC Offensive Player of the Year
Former Freestate Shooters Player All-Time Points Career Holder at Florida State
 Greensboro, NC., Nov. 3, 2009—Former Freestate Shooters player, Tiffany McCarty, who was named the 2008 ACC Freshman of the Year, had an outstanding sophomore campaign as she finished the regular season leading the league in points and goals with 36 and 15, respectively. She was just one of three players in the ACC to rank in the top 10 in points, goals and assists. Even more impressive were her numbers against league opponents in 2009 as McCarty recorded 20 points on eight goals and four assists. Thanks to a two-goal performance against Virginia Tech in the regular season finale, the Laurel, Md., native became the single-season record holder for points in ACC play at FSU surpassing Sanna Talonen who achieved the record with 19 points a season ago. McCarty is already the all-time career holder at Florida State with 31 points in ACC games, while she is tied for the school record with 12 goals and second in assists with seven.
