Charlottesville, VA – The Virginia women’s golf team is ranked 23rd in the Golf World/NGCA preseason coaches poll. The Cavaliers are one of four ACC teams featured in the rankings. Defending NCAA Champion Duke tops the standings while Wake Forest is 14th and North Carolina is 17th.

The Cavaliers are one of four teams in the preseason standings that did not qualify for the 2007 NCAA Championships. Virginia returns four players from last year’s team, a trio of freshmen and Lene Krog, a transfer from East Carolina, who qualified for the NCAA Championships as an individual qualifier.

Virginia opens its season Sept. 4-6 at the Topy Cup in Japan. The Cavaliers are under the direction of first-year coach Kim Lewellen, who was the head coach at East Carolina the past two seasons.
