Wake Forest Tournament History:
- This will be the 24th ACC Women's Golf Championships and the Demon Deacons will have participated in all 24 events. The Deacs have won five titles (1986, 1994, 1995, 2009, 2010) and have finished runner-up 10 times.
- After each of the Demon Deacons' five victories, the Wake Forest head coach was named ACC Coach of the Year. Mary Beth McGirr took home the honor in 1986 and Dianne Dailey has earned the award in 1994, 1995, 2009 and 2010.
- Individually, Wake has had seven ACC Champions: Brenda Corrie in 1986, Stephanie Neill in 1993, Laura Philo Diaz in 1995 and Marta Prieto in 1998.
- In addition to winning the team title in 2009 and 2010, the Demon Deacons have had the last three individual winners: Natalie Sheary in 2009, Michelle Shin in 2010 and Cheyenne Woods in 2011.
- That is the longest stretch of winners from one school other than Duke. The Blue Devils had a stretch of four-straight individual winners from 1999-02 and then Brittany Lang and Amanda Blumenhurst teamed to win five-straight from 2004-08.
- The Demon Deacons are coming off a 7th place finish at the Bryan National Collegiate last weekend.
- Sophomore Olafia Kristinsdottir and freshman Marissa Dodd each posted career-best finishes at the Bryan National.
- Kristinsdottir tied for seventh at 4-over par while Dodd finished tied for ninth at 5-over par. Dodd's previous best finish was a tie for 43rd last month at the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate.
- At the Liz Murphey Collegiate two weeks ago, Allison Emrey shot her two lowest rounds of the season, an opening 73 and a closing 72, to finish tied for 23rd at 5-over par.
- Senior Cheyenne Woods is currently leading the team with a season average of 73.7. Woods finished the Liz Muphey at 1-under par and in 12th place. That is the 5th under-par tournament of her career, which is the most in school-history.
