Perkins graduate Cierra Bravard was selected to the Preseason All-ACC Team as she gets ready for her senior season at Florida State.

Bravard led the Seminoles in scoring (15 ppg), rebounding (7.8 rpg), field goal percentage (54.5 percent) and blocks (27) in 2010-11 en route to All-ACC First Team honors and honorable mention All-America accolades from the WBCA. Bravard also led the ACC in free throws made with 156.

The ACC honor adds to a growing list of preseason awards for Bravard, who was named a preseason First Team All-American by the Sporting News as well as a member of the Wade Award and Wooden Award Watch Lists.

The Seminoles finished third in the ACC in 2010-11, compiling an 11-3 ACC mark. FSU tied for first in the conference in 2009 and 2010 and the squad’s 35 conference wins over the past three years are tied for the most in the ACC with Duke over that span.

FSU advanced to its seventh straight NCAA Tournament in 2010-11, capturing a three-seed for the second consecutive season, and finished with a 24-8 record. In addition to Bravard, FSU returns starters Alexa Deluzio and Natasha Howard.
