Wake Forest Tournament History:
- Wake Forest has qualified for and has been selected to the NCAA Regionals every year since the NCAA switched to the regional format in 1993.
- This will be the Demon Deacons first trip to the West Regional.
- Out of the Demon Deacons' 21 previous appearances at the NCAA Regionals, Wake has advanced on to the NCAA Championships 13 times, including five out of the last eight seasons.
- Wake Forest won the East Regional in both 1994 and 1995, for its only two regional victories. In both tournaments, the Demon Deacons overcame three-shot deficits on the final day.
- The 1994 regional was played in East Lansing, Mich., on the campus of Michigan State. The Deacs used a final round 304 to overtake fellow ACC-rival Duke by five strokes. Stephanie Neill followed her second-place showing at the ACC Championships two weeks earlier with another runner-up finish after rounds of 70-75-74.
- In 1995, The Demon Deacons again came from three shots down entering the final round to win its second-straight regional title. Wake carded a final round 297, which was the lowest round of the day. The Deacs were led by Stephanie Neill, who finished third overall with a three-day total of 216.
- The Deacons will be looking to qualify for their 11th NCAA Championship.
Wake Forest Notes:
- Wake is coming off an eight place finish at the ACC Championship. Redshirt-freshman Elizabeth Doty fired three-straight rounds of 75 to pace the Deacons as she tied for 15th.
- The Deacons finished seventh in the 16-team field at the SMU Dallas Athletic Invitational. The tournament was shortened to 36 holes because of inclement weather on the final day.
- Wake had its best finish of the season at the Bryan National Collegiate, finishing 3rd in the 18-team field.
- Freshman Sierra Sims led the BNC after two rounds and went on to finish 3rd, her best finish of the season. She opened the tournament with season-low rounds of 1-under 71.
- The Deacons fired the lowest final round (2-over 286) and finished sixth in one of the strongest fields of the year at the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate.
- Junior Allison Emrey picked-up just the second top-10 finish of her career as she tied for ninth at the Darius Rucker. Emrey shot rounds of 73-74-70.
- Wake started the spring with a 9th place finish at the Northrop Grumman. Sierra Sims finished tied for 12th individually.
- The Deacons had back-to-back rounds at the Lady Tar Heel Invitational in which it threw out a round of 74. That was just the second time that happened in the same tournament in school history.
- Mariana Sims led the team at the Mason Rudolph Challenge as she finished tied for 18th. That was the second top-20 finish of her career.
- The Deacons opened the season with a round of 1-under 287 at the Cougar Classic. That was their first under-par round in almost two years.
- Wake finished in seventh place at the Cougar Classic.
- Junior Marissa Dodd led the team in the season-opening Cougar Classic with a 13th place finish at 1-over par.
- Dodd opened the season at the Cougar Classic with a career-low 4-under 68. That bested her previous career-low by three shots.
