Shepherd Tabbed to ANNIKA Award Preseason Watch List


DURHAM – Duke women’s golf senior Erica Shepherd has been named to the ANNIKA Award Preseason Watch List as announced by the Haskins Foundation on Thursday.  

A native of Greenwood, Ind., Shepherd has been selected to the ANNIKA Award Preseason Watch list for the second straight season and the third time over her career (2021, 2019).  Shepherd, a two-time All-America selection with the Blue Devils, is coming off a season where she carded a 72.24 stroke average to go along with four top-five and five top-20 finishes.  She finished the season ranked No. 12 nationally.

Over the summer, she represented the United States at the Arnold Palmer Cup and collected a 3-1 ledger.  Shepherd now owns a 6-2 record in two appearances with the Arnold Palmer Cup.  She also finished low amateur at the Carolina Golf Classic on the Epson Tour, which marked the fifth time in her career she earned low amateur honors at a professional event.  

Shepherd is a three-time Women’s Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) Scholar All-American, two-time All-ACC honoree and two-time All-ACC Academic selection.  She has registered one win, six top-five, eight top-10 and 10 top-20 finishes over her three seasons at Duke.
