DURHAM – The Atlantic Coast Conference announced the 2021-22 All-ACC Academic Team for men's golf on Monday, presenting the honor to 25 from across the conference, including a conference-leading three from Duke.
The Blue Devils recognized on this year's team were sophomore
Ian Siebers for a second consecutive year, along with first-time selections senior
Quinn Riley and sophomore
Jimmy Zheng. This marks the 12th consecutive season that three or more Duke men's golfers have earned All-ACC Academic honors. At least two Blue Devils have been selected every year since the award began in 2007.
Duke's three selections match Florida State and Wake Forest for the ACC lead this season.
Siebers, also a two-time All-ACC selection, notched a spot on the All-ACC Academic Team for a second time in as many seasons. He is one of 15 two-time honorees in 2021-22. The trio of Siebers, Zheng and Riley were Duke's leaders in stroke average this season -- 71.18, 72.22 and 72.38, respectively -- in helping lead the Blue Devils to the NCAA Regional for a seventh consecutive season.
Minimum academic requirements for selection to the All-ACC Academic Team are a 3.0 grade point average for the previous semester and a 3.0 cumulative average during one's academic career for undergraduate students. Athletic achievements during the most recent season are also considered in selecting the All-ACC Academic Team.
The ACC Honor Roll, which recognizes all conference student-athletes with a grade point average of 3.0 for the current academic year, will be released in July.
