GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – NC State senior Emily Weiman has been named the 2015 Atlantic Coast Conference Softball Scholar Athlete of the Year and headlines the 2015 All-ACC Academic Softball Team, as announced today by the conference office.
A sport management major from Pasadena, Maryland, Weiman was an All-ACC First Team selection this season for the third consecutive year, as she struck out 322 batters this season to break the Wolfpack single season record. Weiman led the ACC in wins (31) and ranked fifth in the nation for strikeouts (322). Weiman was the 2015 winner of NC State’s female HC Kennett Award, which is the highest athletic award given at the school. Additionally, the senior broke the Wolfpack record for strikeouts in a single game with 18 against Lipscomb and also became the school’s first 100-game winner.
Each of the ACC’s 11 schools that support softball is represented on this year’s All-ACC Academic Team, led by Florida State with seven representatives. Louisville had five honorees, followed by Pitt and Virginia Tech with four each. Notre Dame had three representatives, while Georgia Tech, North Carolina, NC State and Syracuse each had two. Boston College and Virginia rounded out the field with one honoree each.
Three student-athletes, Florida State’s Bailey Schinella, NC State’s Weiman and Virginia Tech’s Kylie McGoldrick were named to the All-ACC Academic Team for the fourth time. A total of 11 student-athletes were recognized for at least the second time.
The ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards were established in September 2007 to be awarded annually to the top junior or senior student-athlete in their respective sports. Candidates for the awards must have maintained a 3.0 grade point average for their career as well as a 3.0 for each of the last two semesters.
To be eligible for consideration for the All-ACC Academic Team, 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.
