DULUTH, Ga. – Nunu Agara, Lara Somfai and Hailee Swain were recognized by the conference when ACC postseason honors voted on by the league’s head coaches were announced Tuesday. Agara was voted to the All-ACC Second Team, while Somfai and Swain made the six-member All-Freshman Team.
Agara landed on the All-ACC Second Team for the second consecutive season. Stanford’s leading scorer and second-leading rebounder, Agara is one of six Power 4 players averaging 15.2 points and 8.6 rebounds along with NC State's Khamil Pierre, Miami's Ra Shaya Kyle, UCLA's Lauren Betts, Kentucky's Clara Strack, and Oklahoma's Raegan Beers. She is 10th in the ACC in scoring, eighth in rebounding, and ninth in field goal percentage (.461).
Agara was voted ACC Player of the Week on Nov. 24 after averaging a double-double of 20.0 points and 10.5 rebounds in Stanford’s wins against UC Davis (70-45) and Lehigh (98-43). She shot 75.0 percent from the floor across the two games, making 15 of her 20 field goal attempts. It was Stanford’s first conference player of the week since Cameron Brink won Pac-12 Player of the Week on March 4, 2024.
Against Lehigh on Nov. 23, Agara poured in 24 points on a perfect 10-of-10 shooting, tying the school record for single-game field goal percentage. She is one of five players in the country this season to be perfect from the floor when attempting at least 10 field goals.
A career 82.2 percent free throw shooter (227-of-276), Agara is tied for sixth in school history in that category. She leads all ACC post players at the line this season, shooting 81.3 percent (87-of-107).
Somfai and Swain and the first pair of Stanford teammates to land on a league’s all-freshman team since Jayne Appel and J.J. Hones were on the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team in 2006-07. It’s the first time the ACC has had multiple all-freshman performers from the same team since Florida State’s O’Mariah Gordon and Makayla Timpson in 2021-22.
The Cardinal is the only Power 4 program with multiple freshmen averaging 10.0 points per game in Somfai (10.7) and Swain (10.0) and one of just eight teams nationally. Somfai (332 points) and Swain (310 points) are the first pair of Stanford freshmen to each total more than 300 points in the same season since 1987-88 (Sonja Henning, Trisha Stevens).
Somfai is averaging 10.7 points and 9.2 rebounds per game this season, one of six freshmen in the country with those numbers. Her four conference Rookie of the Week awards are the most in program history. Somfai is also tied for sixth in the ACC in double-doubles (7) and has the most double-doubles for a Stanford freshman since Chiney Ogwumike had a school freshman record 11 in 2010-11.
Against Pitt on Feb. 5, Somfai went for 15 points, 23 rebounds, eight assists, two steals and three blocks, becoming just the second player in NCAA history with those numbers in available records dating back to 2002-03 and the only freshman. Illinois-Chicago’s Ruvanna Campbell had the exact same line against Northern Illinois on Nov. 17, 2014.
Somfai’s 23 boards are an ACC freshman record, the most by a major conference freshman in the country this season, and the most for an ACC player since Sarah Imovbioh (Virginia) had 24 against Ohio State on Nov. 14, 2014. Her rebounding total is tied for third in Stanford history, trailing only 24-rebound performances from Cameron Brink at Oregon State on Feb. 29, 2024 and Chiney Ogwumike against Oregon on Feb. 24, 2013.
A well-rounded player, Somfai has 332 points, 284 rebounds, 47 assists, 22 blocks and 23 steals. She is tracking to become just the 12th freshman in NCAA history to total 350 points, 300 rebounds, 50 assists, 20 blocks and 20 steals and the first Power 4 freshman to do it since Stanford's Kayla Pedersen in 2007-08. The first name on the list is USC's Cheryl Miller in 1982-83. The most recent is UConn's Sarah Strong in 2024-25.
Swain scored a career-high 20 in Sunday's win over Clemson, the first 20-point performance for a Stanford freshman since Cameron Brink had 24 in the semifinals of the Pac-12 Tournament against Oregon State on March 5, 2021. In home wins over SMU and Clemson last weekend, Swain averaged 17.0 points and shot 14-of-21 (.667) from the floor.
She is fourth among ACC freshmen in scoring and has scored in double figures in 20 games, second-most among the league's freshmen. No Stanford freshman has scored 10+ in more games since Chiney Ogwumike in 2010-11 (23). A starter in each one of Stanford's 31 games this season, Swain also has three seven-rebound games from the guard position, the most for a Cardinal freshman guard since Haley Jones in 2019-20 (5).
Stanford, the No. 13 seed in Georgia, begins its ACC Tournament against No. 12 seed Miami on Wednesday, March 4 at 8 a.m. PT/11 a.m. ET on ACC Network.
