GREENSBORO, N.C. - After a tough start, Wake Forest rebounded with a solid back nine to card a round of 306 on day two of the ACC Championship at Sedgefield Country Club.
The Deacons had a tough time finding the groove in the cool morning air as they made the turn in 18-over par. Thanks to a combined five birdies on the back nine, the tougher of the two sides, Wake came in just 4-over par. The Deacs are 49-over for the tournament and in 10th place.
"We played much better on the back nine and I was proud of the students for hanging in there," said Wake Forest head coach Dianne Dailey. "This is a tough golf course when you're hitting the ball well. If you're not on top of your game, your mistakes are magnified. We gained some confidence with how we played the back nine this afternoon and hopefully we can roll that into tomorrow."
Junior Allison Emrey played her final 12 holes of the day in even-par, making 10 pars and a birdie, and would post a 2-over 73. That followed an opening-round 80 and she is 11-over for the event and tied for 28th.
Redshirt-freshman Elizabeth Doty, playing in her first ACC Championship, posted a second-straight solid round of 4-over 75. She bogeyed five of her first six holes but played the final 12 holes at 1-under par with birdies at Nos. 15 and 18. She leads the team at 8-over and is tied for 17th.
Junior Marissa Dodd followed the theme of the day for the Deacs as she played the last 12 holes at even-par with a pair of birdies en route to a 6-over 77. Dodd is 17-over for the two rounds. Freshman Sierra Sims is a shot ahead of Dodd at 16-over after posting a second round 81.
Sophomore Marianna Sims rounded-out the Deacon scorers on Friday with an 11-over 82. She is tied for 48th at 19-over par.
Duke came into the day in a tie with Virginia for first but a second round 285 has allowed the two-time defending champion to open-up a 14-shot lead. The Blue Devils are 8-over par while Virginia is in second place at 22-over.
In the individual race, Duke's Celine Boutier carded a 2-under 69 on Friday and is the lone player under-par in the field. She is 2-under overall and had a three
