Five Hurricanes Earn All-ACC Academic Team Honors
CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Following strong performances in the classroom and on the golf course, a program-record five Hurricanes were tabbed to the 2023 All-ACC Academic Team, as announced by the league Tuesday.
Fourth-year juniors Daniella Barrett and Franziska Sliper, third-year sophomore Sara Byrne and freshmen Katie Carman and Elisa Villamizar all earned a spot on the All-ACC Academic Team, marking the first time five Hurricanes have appeared on the list.
This is the second All-ACC Academic Team plaudit for Byrne, while the other five are first-time honorees.
Barrett and Sliper graduated in May with degrees in psychology and finance, respectively. Barrett earned a spot on the Dean’s List (3.5+ GPA) this semester, while Sliper was named to the Provost’s Honor Roll (3.75+ GPA) for her academic achievements.
