DURHAM, N.C.— The 2019-20 Duke women's golf season came to an abrupt end in March as the Blue Devils were heading to compete in the Valspar Augusta Invitational. Duke was playing some of its best golf of the season and were excited about the possibilities that lied ahead during the postseason. Â
Belac Named ANNIKA Award Finalist
Duke senior Ana Belac was tabbed one of 10 finalists for the 2020 ANNIKA Award. The award recognizes the most outstanding Division I collegiate golfers for the 2019-20 season as voted on by their fellow players, coaches and the golf media.
Belac, a product of Portoroz, Slovenia, had collected a 71.85 stroke average in five events in the abbreviated season. She notched two top-five, three top-10 and four top-20 finishes on the year. She turned in her second collegiate victory at the East Lake Cup as she birdied five of her final seven holes on her way to logging a three-under-par, 69, to finish in a tie for first.
In the final Golfweek individual rankings, Belac was the top-rated senior nationally and ranked No. 3 overall. Â
Duke Claims Impressive Victory at Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge
Duke opened the spring season in impressive fashion as the Blue Devils claimed the team title at the Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge against nine top 10 teams and one of the best fields of the season. Â
Following a solid 11-under-par, 273, in the second round, the Blue Devils held an eight-stroke lead heading into the final round. Duke carded a one-under-par, 283, and collected a seven-stroke victory at the 6,017-yard, par 71 Palos Verdes Golf Club in Palos Verdes Estates, Calif.
In 10 appearances at the Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge, it marked the first team title for the Blue Devils and the 137th career victory for Duke head coach Dan Brooks, which continues to lead all NCAA Division I head coaches. Â
Duke carded rounds of 291, 273 and 283 for a five-under, 847, which broke the previous Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge tournament record by nine strokes. Southern California (854), Texas (855), UCLA (858), Arizona State (859), Kent State (868), Stanford (869), Wake Forest (870), Auburn (872) and Oregon (876) rounded out the top 10 teams.
The Blue Devils featured junior Miranda Wang and senior Ana Belac in the top five of the individual leaderboard as Wang was tied for second and Belac placed tied for fifth. Â
Wang Has Impressive Back-to-Back Tournaments
Junior Miranda Wang was playing the best golf of her collegiate career when the season was cut short. She collected a 71.83 stroke average in her last two tournaments, which included a tied for second finish at the Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge with rounds of 74, 66 and 68 for a five-under-par, 208. Wang, who is from Beijing, China, carded 28 birdies over her final two tournaments. She also tied for 29th finish at the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate with rounds of 74, 77 and 72 for a 54-hole score 223. Wang led Duke on the season with 55 birdies.
Belac Ties for First at East Lake Cup
Led by a five-under-par ledger over her final seven holes, Duke senior Ana Belac earned co-medalist accolades and the Blue Devils received the No. 1 overall seed at the 2019 East Lake Cup, which was played at historic East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Ga.
Belac, a native of Portoroz, Slovenia, earned her second individual title as she collected a tournament-best eight birdies to finish with a three-under-par, 69, and tied with Wake Forest's Vanessa Knecht. After missing Duke's last tournament as she was competing at LPGA Stage II Qualifying, Belac collected three birdies over her first eight holes and made the turn at one-under, 35. Â
After a bogey on No. 10 and double-bogey on No. 11, Belac dropped to two-over-par. Her putter started to get hot as she rolled in a 20-footer on No. 12, four-footer on No. 13 and two 18-foot birdies on No. 15 and No. 16 to move to two-under-par with two holes to play. Belac missed a birdie putt on No. 17, but then on the par five 18th she hit her second shot to within 25 yards of the pin. She hit her 54-degree wedge to inches and sank the birdie to finish at three-under, 69, and a tie for first. Belac hit 14 greens, 10 fairways and had 30 putts on the day.
The win for Belac was her second over her four years with the Blue Devils and the first came exactly two years ago at the Landfall Tradition in Wilmington, N.C.
As a team, Duke featured three golfers in the top six and shot a two-under-par, 286, to finish two shots ahead of Arizona (288). Wake Forest (292) and Auburn (295) rounded out the field. The Blue Devils received the No. 1 seed in match.  Along with Belac in the top six for Duke was junior Jaravee Boonchant (T4) and freshman Erica Shepherd (T6). Sophomore Gina Kim was 11th and junior Miranda Wang was tied for 19th.

Duke women's golf head coach Dan Brooks will lead the United States squad. In the summer of 2019, Duke's Ana Belac helped lead the International Team to a 33.5-26.5 victory over the United States. It will mark the third straight summer Duke has featured a golfer in the annual event as Jaravee Boonchant competed in 2018. Â
In the Final Individual Rankings
In final Golfweek Individual rankings, two Duke women's golfers closed the shortened season ranked in the top 14 nationally. Senior Ana Belac was the top-rated senior at No. 3, while junior Jaravee Boonchant was No. 14. Duke was one of only two programs nationally to feature two golfers in the top 14 of the rankings.

Â
The Blue Devils concluded the shortened 2019-20 campaign with one victory, two third place finishes and were first in stroke play qualifying at the East Lake Cup. Â
