GREENSBORO, N.C. - Six Wake Forest Demon Deacons, including three first team All-ACC selections, were named to the All-ACC Academic Field Hockey Team, announced Tuesday by Commissioner John D. Swofford. The Wake Forest contingent includes seniors Lauren Crandall, Jamie Whitten and Kristi Harshman, sophomores Minou Gimbrere and Christine Suggs, and freshman Aileen Davis. Crandall, Harshman and Whitten are all repeat selections, named to the 2005 team. Crandall, Suggs and Whitten were all previously named first team All-ACC. Wake Forest, the 2006 ACC champion, finished the season with a 22-2 record. The Deacons advanced to the national semifinals for the seventh straight year before falling to Maryland in the national championship game. To be eligible for consideration, a student-athlete must have earned a 3.00 grade point average for the previous semester and maintained a 3.00 cumulative average during her academic career. Duke led all schools with seven selections on the All-Academic Team for the second year in a row. NCAA champion Maryland and national runner-up Wake Forest notched six apiece, while Virginia collected five picks. Boston College and North Carolina rounded out the 31-member team with four and three nods, respectively. The ACC also had numerous student-athletes garner national accolades in 2006, as 20 members received citations for All-America, All-Region or both by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association. In addition, Maryland's Infante was a recipient of the Honda Award for the second straight year, earning the distinction as the nation's most outstanding field hockey player after leading Maryland to back-to-back NCAA field hockey championship titles for the first time in school history.
