He averaged 12.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists in the ACC Tournament.
Shosho, a sophomore from East Amherst, N.Y., defeated a pair of ranked players in singles play including fourth-ranked Agata Cioroch of Georgia, and was a perfect 2-0 in both singles and doubles on the week. In the match against 2nd ranked Georgia, she teamed with Maria Nieto to clinch the doubles point for the Jackets and was one of two singles winners for Tech. She teamed with Nieto to clinch the doubles point against No. 39 Ohio State and led Tech to a 7-0 win against the Buckeyes with a three-set victory in the top singles slot.
