WINSTON-SALEM, NC - Cheyenne Woods capped off her record-setting sophomore season by being named a second team All-American by the National Golf Coaches Association.
Woods is now the 13th Wake Forest women's golfer to garner All-American honors. The Demon Deacons have also had at least one All-American in 16 of the last 19 years starting with Stephanie Neill in 1992.
The Phoenix, Ariz., native played a total of 30 rounds this season and finished with a school-record 73.47 stroke average. That average bested Ashley Hoagland's average of 73.54 in 2005 and was nearly three strokes lower than Woods' average as a freshman in 2009.
Woods recorded a total of six top-10s on the year including her first collegiate victory at The Bryan National Collegiate in April. At the Bryan, she finished at a career-best 5-under 211, which is tied for the second-lowest 54-hole score in school history.
On the year, 14 of her 30 rounds were at par or better and she matched her career-low of 3-under 69 on two different occasions. Woods topped the team with a total of 74 birdies and 26.5 of her 30 rounds counted towards the team score.
Three different times this season Woods led a tournament through 36-holes and she finished lower than 12th just three times in 10 events.
The communications major also earned All-ACC honors for the first time this spring becoming the 11th Demon Deacon to earn All-ACC honors under head coach Dianne Dailey.
