TALLAHASSEE – First-Team All-American Lottie Woad is one of seven members of the nationally ranked Florida State Women's Golf team named to the 2024 ACC Academic Honor Roll by the Atlantic Coast Conference Office. Woad, a sophomore, is joined on the team by graduated senior Alice Hodge, juniors Kaylah Williams and Madison Hewlett, sophomores Mirabel Ting and Katherine Cook, and freshman Bella Bugg along with 289 Florida State student-athletes who earned the conference's highest academic honor.
The Women's Golf Team at Florida State earned the honor of having at least five players named to the ACC Academic Honor Roll in 13 consecutive years and in 13 of Amy Bond's 14 years as its head coach.
Woad, a sport management major, earned All-American First-Team honors on the course and ACC Academic Honor Roll honors in the classroom for the second consecutive season. She totaled a school-record low 70.04 stroke average and a personal-best 3.938 grade point average during the Seminoles' main competitive season during the spring.
Ting, who earned All-American Honorable Mention honors in her first season as a Seminole, was named to the ACC Academic Honor Roll for the first time in her career. She earned a 3.563 GPA during the spring semester, earned a 72.50 stroke average, and won the individual championship at the Valspar Augusta Invitational.
"The incredible amount of work that the girls in our program put into being successful in their academics illustrates the type of people we have in our program," said Bond. "Every player in our program earned above a 3.5 grade point average and as a team we set a program record with a 3.829 cumulative grade point average. The team GPA is the second-highest in school history by any team in any year. That statement makes me as the head coach very proud to be around these players each day."
The Seminoles finished the 2024 season ranked in the nation's top-20 in the Golfstat rankings. The Seminoles finished in a tie for 11th at the NCAA Championship Finals, finished in fifth at the NCAA Las Vegas Regional Championship, and won the tournament championship at the Collegiate Invitational at the Guadalajara Country Club in February.
Cook, who is currently studying abroad in in Italy, was named to the ACC Academic Honor Roll for the second time in her career. She has earned President's List (once) and Dean's List honors (three times) during the first four semesters of her academic career at Florida State.
"Performing well in the classroom and prioritizing my academics has always something my parents pushed me to be my best in from an early age," said Cook. "Holding myself accountable for my grades has helped me in all aspects of my life."
The ACC Academic Honor Roll consists of student-athletes who participated in a varsity-level sport and registered a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better for the full academic year. The conference recognized a record 6,187 student-athletes for their hard work in the classroom.
"These women exemplify what it means to be a Seminole both in the classroom and on the course," said Corey Talley, Assistant Director and Academic Advisor in the Student-Athlete Academic Services for Athletics Department. "Congratulations to seven incredible women for making the ACC Honor Roll. The hard work and dedication in the classroom does not go unnoticed."
