Women's Golf's Kayla Smith Repeats On All-ACC Team

North Carolina senior Kayla Smith is one of 15 players voted to the 2023 All-Atlantic Coast Conference team, becoming the first Tar Heel in a decade to earn that award in multiple seasons.

The Burlington, N.C., native won the Texas A&M "Mo"Morial in September, leads the Tar Heels in stroke average and is Carolina's all-time single-season and career stroke average leader.

Smith is the ninth Tar Heel women's golfer to earn All-ACC honors in multiple seasons, the first since Casey Grice in 2012 and 2013. Smith joins a list that includes four-time honoree Catherine O'Donnell, three-time recipients Marcy Newton and Ashley Prange, and two-time selections Kim Byham, Kelly McCall, Katie Miller, Allie White and Grice.
