Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner John Swofford selected four University of Miami women’s golf student-athletes to the 2015 All-ACC Academic Team Thursday.
Sophomore Delfina Acosta, sophomore Daniela Darquea, senior Leticia Ras-Anderica and junior Kailey Walsh were the Hurricanes selected to the team.
To be eligible for consideration for the All-ACC Academic team, a student-athlete, regardless of classification, must have earned a 3.00 grade point average for the previous semester and maintained a 3.00 cumulative average during her academic career.
Acosta was selected to the team after she competed in all 31 rounds and posted the team’s third-best scoring average in 2014-15. She highlighted the year by winning the Web.com Intercollegiate.
Darquea earned a spot on the team after she established herself as one of the league’s top women’s competitors this past season as she earned All-ACC honors. As sophomore, she competed in all 31 rounds, posted a 73.29 scoring average and tied for the team lead with four Top 10 finishes. Following the season, Darquea qualified for the U.S. Women’s Open.
Ras-Anderica was one of the Hurricanes’ most reliable players as she competed in all 31 events and tied for the team lead with four Top 10 finishes.
Walsh earned a spot on the team after she logged 28 rounds and posted an average of 75.82. She also tied for second at the Hurricane Invitational.
WHAT!

Also, I go to all the games, talks to lots of people, none of them express the desire to leave for a crappy soccer stadium. Anyone on CS that goes to games never expressed that desire, if they exist here, they can speak up. Anyone I've questioned on social media that's hellbent on a new stadium, I always ask the right questions or can tell from their profiles.
Posted by: Lur-ker | June 28, 2015 at 09:43 PM
The stadium was always FINE with me AND is being improved significantly but what needs to improve the most is the on-the-field product.
It is simple really: "Win and they will come."

Boise is larger than 200k, there's closer to 600k. There's Caldwell, Nampa, Meridian, etc all in the same area. BSU's stadium IS too small, they are always trying to expand it. If I had to guess a number they'd want, it would be around 50k. Boise State football isn't the only thing going on either. There's a lot of outdoors things to do, especially when the summer cools down and people start heading outdoors. People just care more about their team in certain areas. These Cleveland fans are completely unbearable but they know everyone on the team and everywhere you go its Cavs this, Browns that, Indians here, Suckeyes there. They really support their teams. It's not like California or Florida. When Harsin took over he came out to Idaho Falls. I went to ask about what would be different between him and Coach Pete. Super nice guy, he drew enourmous crowds there.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | June 28, 2015 at 11:39 PM
So using surrounding areas it's 600k. I'll buy that. If you use the Miami MSA area in S. Florida, it's about 6 million. Idaho population (entire state) 1.5 million.
I realize those are some dedicated fans and that team could probably draw 50-60k easily if they had the stadium.
I'm embarrassed we're even talking about a crappy little 40k stadium, to be honest. My theory is that we have a hard core population of local dedicated fans numbering about 35k-40k. The stadium fills up with the rest when we win more. But as Go Canes says, the little stadium is never happening.

Like I also said, CR's not going to any stadium, be it renovated, old, new, big or small.
So who cares?
I'll be at any of those places if something changes. But the reality is the only home we'll have for a long, long, long time is Sun Life.
I'm fine with that.
Posted by: Go Canes | June 29, 2015 at 07:03 AM
Seems like an easy sell for HS recruits to me. Come play in an NFL stadium. But attendance has been POOR to say the least. I'm not saying the games need to be sold out, but I'd take 45,000 during the lesser games. Sometimes it looks like there's more people on the field and sidelines than there are in the stands, although I think Blake is doing his best to fix that, other than firing Al and hiring Oregon's staff.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | June 29, 2015 at 08:37 AM
Like 86 and Lur-ker said Sun Life is fine. We Good on the Stadium Front. Just need the On Field Product to produce wins. That is all.
Posted by: Terrance Sullivan | June 29, 2015 at 08:58 AM
Posted by: CaneRock | June 29, 2015 at 12:47 AM
Yes I am embarrassed. Aren't you? An MSA of 6 million and we've got 40k hard core fans. But I'm not embarrassed for myself, just for all the people that talking a big game but don't even show up to one game.
You're either part of the solution or part of the problem in that equation. Which one are you?
There's your "BWAHAHAHA..."
Posted by: Lur-ker | June 29, 2015 at 09:16 AM
Lur-ker I have to disagree. If you'll go back and look the numbers I put together for Terrence early in the year cross-referencing USC's and UCLA's market size, school size and number of graduates with game attendance, you'll find that Miami's support is in line with those schools.
Posted by: Old Skool | June 29, 2015 at 09:35 AM
Miami averages roughly 52,500 tickets sold Yearly. We good at Sun Life. Especially Since the new Capacity is 65,000 down from 76,000. When the tarps are put in for non big games the capacity decreases to 56,000. Perfect. Just Win Baby.

Please DON'T include me in the " we " notion regarding Golden, D'Onofrio and the Canes.
Simply because I was SOUR, DOUR on the Golden FLEECE since MID-SEASON of the 2011 Miami, Florida season!!!! By the way, their was enough TALENT on that particular Cane team to FINISH 8-4 in '11. But that's neither here or there now.
More to the point. The game against MIGHTY Maryland gave Canespace rowdies a PREVIEW of what was going to take place under Golden and D'Onofrio ( The mighty Turtles just happen to finish " 2-10 " in 2011. That's 2-10!! And Maryland's other win was over TOWSON ST. Go figure. ).
I mean what more evidence does Canespace rowdies need after FOUR SEASONS of Golden and D'Onofrio. LMFAO
In other words, to harp about a meaningless moot, point. Time after time. LAST SEASON should have been the proverbial proof in the Golden pudding about U Know Who's coaching acumen and what not. But no. U'all still continue to give Albert the benefit of the doubt. SMH
Again, Cane fandom NEVER stop talking about Miami having BETTER OVERALL TALENT than 10 of the 12 opponents they've faced the past four campaigns. That seems to be an ENDLESS talking point. And the recent NFL draft proves this point to a lesser degree. Yet there's that " 6-7 " tally in '15. And that's with TWO 1st Round and TWO 2nd Round draft choices. LMFAO
So here's looking at 7-5 in 2015. Hopefully Golden will make me look like the one grasping after the Fool's Gold., laying at the bottom of a murky, brown rustic stream. LMFAO

1st game after the Shapiro mess broke? Was it 10 players suspended?
More mumble jumbo...

Pretty crazy stat I took from that link above.
Last two seasons, we are 13-3 before FSU, 2-7 after.
Posted by: Go Canes | June 29, 2015 at 12:08 PM
After doing some aimless college football research. I discovered that Miami, Florida's overall PRESEASON ranking is NO. 40. And NOT the No.21 ranking some Cane dude bloviated about.
Matter of fact, Phil Steele came up with the stat's of SIX reputable sources and tallied their rankings into an overall consensus Top 128 ranking.
These SIX reliable Top 25 preseason polls come from ESPN, Lindy's, Athlon, College football news and two statistical guru's, FEI and S&P+.

More REVISIONEST history and distortion of the FACTS. Or is that CHERRY PICKING the stat's and fact. LMFAO
Oh. One more thing. The suspensions were SPREAD OUT and ONLY one game suspensions. Also, Miami didn't suspend ALL players for the Maryland game.
Matter of fact, ONLY three of the 11 suspended players were STARTERS ( Oliver, Armstrong, and QB Harris only sat out one game ( Jacory played the entire game against MIGHTY Maryland. ).
Also, of those suspended players. I believe, if memory serves me right. ONLY FOUR of the players were STARTERS. And not ALL TEN players you DISINGENUOUSLY mention above.
But then again, you WILLING chose to IGNORE that FACT that mighty Maryland finished the season " 2-10 " and one of those victories was agains some OBSCURE I-AA team called Towson St. LOL
Chit, I knew you was a Golden LAP DOG. But bubba. You obviously have your VANILLA nose all the way up Golden's doo-doo whole!!!
Again, 7-5 is what I'm going with in 2015.
And just to prove I'm not all dour, sour on the Golden One. I predicted Miami, Florida would FINISH 8-4 in 2015 and FINALLY win a bowl game since 2001. MAN WAS I WRONG, again. LMFAO
Posted by: TheeMackJones | June 29, 2015 at 12:27 PM

Posted by: CaneRock | June 29, 2015 at 12:30 PM
TheeMackJones I said Phil Steele had us #21 not what the average was. Don't know if anyone else said it as well. But whether we are 21 or 40 preseason. That's at least an 8-4 prognosis. Obviously 21 is saying at least 9-3 or more clearly better than a 6-6 or 5-7 Mark that some want to predict. Either way our Canes got to get it done.
Posted by: Terrance Sullivan | June 29, 2015 at 12:30 PM
Mack,
There may be 3 people on this blog giving Al the benefit of the doubt. The rest of us are either pissed and are dealing with the reality of the situation or are pissed and can't get over how pissed we are.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | June 29, 2015 at 12:37 PM
Go Cane, wasn't it the Turtle game, which Golden and D'Onofrio had the Cane corner's playing SEVEN or EIGHT yards off the LOS. And the safties were playing something like 13 or 14 yards from the LOS.
And wasn't Miami's DE's covering Maryland's RB's something like 12 or 14 yards down the field. LOL
All I know Go Canes. Is Maryland had a QB which was STARTING HIS FIRST major college football game and Golden/D'Onofrio's COVERAGE schemes made the Turtle QB look ALL-ACC 2nd team. Or at least Honorable Mention ACC.
Posted by: TheeMackJones | June 29, 2015 at 12:43 PM
Al Golden has inspired a civil war amongst CANEZ FANS :(
Here's to 7-5
Posted by: SinisterCane | June 29, 2015 at 12:47 PM
My BAD go Canes. I ignorantly forgot. It was Golden and D'Onofrio's first game under the BRIGHT LIGHTS of national television. And ' we ' do know by now. That Golden mysteriously has a thing with the BRIGHT LIGHTS of national television.
So perhaps I should CONTINUE to give Golden a break and what not, after four, sour seasons in Coral Gables.
Sorry!
Posted by: TheeMackJones | June 29, 2015 at 12:48 PM
Exactly! Getting this stadium done with Beckhams group which we would be co owners on would be the best thing to happen to this program since we won the NC in 2001\. Not to mention going back hollowed ground in the sight of the great old OB. Also not to mention being in the actual city of Miami again. Were the Miami hurricanes, not the Broward hurricanes! It's like some of these people that post on here aren't even real canes fans, instead of caring about what's best for the program, they only care about what's best for themselves. New flash trolls, SLS sucks! We never owned the OB! Now we have a chance to actually be part owners in a stadium of our own and all some of you can do is complain. News flash again, were never gonna have a stadium in Coral gables! Having a brand new 40,000/45,000 stadium that were actual partners in, that we can realistically fill every Saturday and returning to the sight of the OB is as good as it's gonna get for the program, the city of Miami, dade county, and the community of little Havana. Get behind and support our MIAMI hurricanes or get out!
Posted by: NicKane | June 29, 2015 at 12:51 PM
Early Sin City wagering lines.
FSU - 14 1/2 vs. Miami
Clemson - 4 vs. Miami
Miami - 6 1/2 vs. Virginia Tech
Miami vs. Nebraska PICK'EM
FWIW... the vast majority of the time, the road team is the winner in PICK'EM games ( Approximately 75% of the time. OUCH. ).
In other words, PICK'EM games are the TEXTBOOK, CLASSIC Golden Fool's games for Vegas line setters. Simply because the degenerates tend to play the ' home team ' and the gambling stat's suggest the vast majority of the time, the ROAD TEAM wins those Pick' Em games.
So CAVEAT EMPTOR on the Hurricane vs. Nebraska game come late September.
Posted by: TheeMackJones | June 29, 2015 at 12:57 PM

Don't know about owned, but we actually occupied the OB longer than the Dolphins. We were the ONLY occupants in that building for close to 50 years.

I guess Vegas line makers no longer give Miami, Florida the benefit of the doubt. Because the Canes should be at least a -3 1/3 home chalk against that Herbie Cornhusker squad.
Oh. I failed to mention the Thursday BRIGHT LIGHTS against the Bear Kats of Cincinnati.
Cincinnati - 4 vs. Miami
Again, there's that BRIGHT LIGHTS ' variable ' with Miami and the point spread.

I guess those other championship squads happened during the Great Depression and Roaring Twenties.
