DURHAM – Coming off another solid season for the Duke women's golf program, junior Erica Shepherd received Golfweek Third Team All-America accolades this week. Â
It marks the second consecutive year Shepherd has been recognized by Golfweek, as she earned Second Team All-American honors a season ago. Â
Shepherd, who is from Greenwood, Ind., compiled a team-best 72.24 stroke average to go along with four top-five and five top-20 finishes on the year. She closed the season with five straight rounds of even or under par, while notching a total of 12 on the year. Shepherd finished the season with a No. 26 national ranking in the Golfweek Individual ledger.
She collected second place finishes a pair of times in the ACC Championship and Tar Heel Invitational. Shepherd carded rounds of 75, 68 and 69 for a 4-under, 212, at the ACC Championship. Shepherd was the only golfer in the field to notch back-to-back scores in the 60s in the event. In the Tar Heel Invitational, she posted rounds of 66, 70 and 70 for a career-low 10-under, 206. Shepherd also opened the season with a fourth-place ledger at the ANNIKA Intercollegiate with scores of 68, 72 and 70 for a 6-under, 210. Â
Shepherd went 2-0 in match play at the East Lake Cup to help send Duke into the championship match and finished tied for 11th at the NCAA Franklin Regional with scores of 71, 72 and 71 for a 2-under, 214. Her 71.25 third round scoring averaged ranked eighth in Duke's season record charts. Â
Up next for Shepherd is the Arnold Palmer Cup from July 1-3 as she will represent the United States for the second straight summer. The competition will take place in Vandoeuvres, Switzerland.
