TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State junior Charlotte Heath and freshman Lottie Woad, who led the Seminoles to a fifth place finish at the 2023 NCAA Division I Championship Finals, have earned All-American First-Team honors as announced by the Women’s Golf Coaches Association. The selections of both Heath and Woad to the First-Team marks the third consecutive season the Seminoles have had at least one player earn All-American First-Team honors. Three-time Beatrice Wallin earned the honor in both 2021 and 2022.
It also marked the second consecutive season Heath has been named to the All-American team by the WGCA. She earned All-American Honorable Mention honors 2022. Woad is the third freshman in school history to earn All-American First-team honors.
Florida State and Wake Forest were the only two teams in the nation to have two golfers earn All-American First-Team honors this season.
Florida State has had at least one golfer earn All-American honors each season since 2016 with five first-team All-Americans during that span.
“We are all very excited for Charlotte and Lottie to be recognized as two of the nation’s top players by the WGCA,” said Head Coach Amy Bond. “Both players played very well throughout the season.
