Four Miami Golfers Named Academic All-ACC

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner John Swofford selected four University of Miami women’s golf student-athletes to the 2015 All-ACC Academic Team Thursday.

Sophomore Delfina Acosta, sophomore Daniela Darquea, senior Leticia Ras-Anderica and junior Kailey Walsh were the four Hurricanes selected to the team.

To be eligible for consideration for the All-ACC Academic team, a student-athlete, regardless of classification, must have earned a 3.00 grade point average for the previous semester and maintained a 3.00 cumulative average during her academic career.

Acosta was selected to the team after she competed in all 31 rounds and posted the team’s third-best scoring average in 2014-15. She highlighted the year by winning the Web.com Intercollegiate.

Darquea earned a spot on the team after she established herself as one of the league’s top women’s competitors this past season as she earned All-ACC honors. As sophomore, she competed in all 31 rounds, posted a 73.29 scoring average and tied for the team lead with four Top 10 finishes. Following the season, Darquea qualified for the U.S. Women’s Open.

Ras-Anderica was one of the Hurricanes’ most reliable players as she competed in all 31 events and tied for the team lead with four Top 10 finishes.

Walsh earned a spot on the team after she logged 28 rounds and posted an average of 75.82. She also tied for second at the Hurricane Invitational.
