CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. - Wake Forest women's golfer Carolina Chacarra has been named a Second Team All-American by the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA).
Chacarra was second on the team with a 71.79 stroke average over 33 rounds this season. She had five top 10 finishes with four of them coming inside the top five. She earned ACC Freshman of the Year and All-ACC honors at the conclusion of the regular season. She was also named one of 10 finalists for the 2022 ANNIKA Award presented by Stifel.
On the international circuit, she is set to compete at the Arnold Palmer Cup for the first time this summer.
Chacarra won her first two collegiate tournaments back-to-back this spring and became the first Wake Forest women's golfer to win multiple events in her debut season since Stephanie Neill in 1991-92. To start the spring, Chacarra won the UCF Challenge in February with the lowest 54-hole score in relation to par in Wake Forest program history and tied for the second lowest in NCAA history. Wake Forest took home the team title.
Chacarra and the Deacs closed out the month with another win, with Chacarra taking home the individual title and Wake Forest taking home the team title at the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate in March. Following both wins, Chacarra was named ACC women's golfer of the month.
Wake Forest finished third at the NCAA Franklin Regional to advance to their fourth-consecutive National Championship May 20-23 in Scottsdale, Arizona. In April, the Deacs won their second ACC title in three events and seventh title in program history, the second-most of any team in the ACC.
