WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.-- The Wake Forest women's golf team earned a No. 20 ranking in the MasterCard Preseason Women's Collegiate Golf Rankings, released yesterday by the College Golf Foundation.

The Demon Deacons, who finished the 1998-99 season ranked 29th, earned a total of 67 votes in the preseason poll. Three of the four ACC women's golf teams appeared in the Top 25, as defending national champion Duke claimed the poll's top spot (273 votes) and North Carolina tied for 24th (46 votes).
