DURHAM, N.C. – The All-ACC women's golf team was released Wednesday with Duke freshman Leona Maguire sweeping both the ACC Player and Freshman of the Year, which was voted on by the league's 11 head coaches. Maguire, junior Celine Boutier and sophomore Sandy Choi were also named to the 12-member All-ACC women's golf team.
Maguire became the fourth golfer in ACC history to be named both Player and Rookie of the Year – Lindy Duncan (2010), Amanda Blumenherst (2006) and Beth Bauer (1999). With Duke receiving three members on the All-ACC team, it marks the 16th straight year the Blue Devils have registered two or more golfers on the All-ACC squad.
Other members of the All-ACC team include Virginia's Lauren Diaz-Yi, Briana Mao and Lauren Coughlin, Wake Forest's Sierra Sims and Allison Emery, Florida State's Lydia Gumm, Miami's Daniela Darquea, NC State's Lindsay McGetrick and Notre Dame's Talia Campbell.
Maguire, who hails from Cavan, Ireland, is currently the top-ranked golfer in the nation. She is quietly having a record-breaking season featuring a 70.68 stroke average, which would be a Duke record. Maguire has turned in 19 rounds of even or under par, seven top five finishes and eight top 10 placements on the season. She has totaled two victories on the year, including the ACC Championship on the second playoff hole.
The two-time ACC Golfer of the Month enters the NCAA Regionals posting a 69.70 stroke average over her final four tournaments, including five rounds in the 60s out of 10.
Earning All-ACC accolades for the third straight year, Boutier has produced another solid season for the Blue Devils with a 72.41 stroke average. The 2014 ACC Player of the Year owns two top five, three top 10 and seven top 20 finishes in eight tournaments. A native of Montrouge, France, Boutier's top finishes were at the Annika Invitational and the Tar Heel Invitational where she tied third. Her 10 rounds of even or under par on the year ranks second on the Duke squad.
Choi, who is from Seoul, South Korea, received All-ACC honors for the first time in her career. She kicked off her 2014-15 campaign with a victory at the Cougar Classic with rounds of 69, 68 and 68 for an 11-under-par, 205. Choi has totaled a 73.12 stroke average with two top five and four top 20 finishes on the year.
Virginia's Kim Lewellen received ACC Coach of the Year honors.
Duke will kick off the NCAA Regionals May 7-9 in Notre Dame, Ind., as the No. 2 seed.
