The Seminoles and the Demon Deacons are the only two teams from the ACC with players on the ANNIKA Watch List.
Heath and Woad will lead the Seminoles into the 10th Annual Florida State Match Up at the Seminole Legacy Club March 17-19 in their only home match of the year. Fans and friends are welcome to walk each of the 18 holes on all three days, as the best in college golf comes to Tallahassee during the third week in March.
