TALLAHASSEE – Mirabel Ting and Lottie Woad, who have helped lead Florida State to the NCAA Championship Finals, have been named as finalists for the ANNIKA Award presented by Stifel. The pair of Seminole juniors are ranked as the No. 1 and No. 2 golfers in the World Amateur Golf Rankings (Woad, 1; Ting, 2) and the No. 1 and No. 2 golfers in the NCAA rankings by Scoreboard by Clippd (Ting, No. 1; Woad, No. 2).

It marks the second consecutive season that Woad has been named as a top-10 finalist for the ANNIKA Award. It’s the first time in her career that Ting has been named as a top-10 finalist for the award.

No. 2 ranked Florida State and No. 1 ranked Stanford are the only two schools in the nation with multiple players on the ANNIKA Award Top 10 Finalist list.

Ting, the 2025 ACC Golfer of the Year, enters the NCAA Championship Finals (May 16-21) with a career-low 68.64 stroke average and five individual victories during her junior season. Ting’s scoring average of 68.64 for eight events this year is currently the lowest single-season stroke average in school history. She has scored 13 of 22 rounds in the 60s with at least one score in the 60s coming in each of her eight events this year. Ting carded her career-low of 66 four times this spring – at the Collegiate Invitational at The Guadalajara Country Club, Briar’s Creek Invitational, the Florida State Match Up, and at the ACC Championship.

Ting has finished each of her tournaments this year below par, and is a total of 70 strokes below par for her entire junior year.

Woad, the 2024 ACC Golfer of the Year, also enters the NCAA Championship Finals with a career-low 69.906 stroke average and two individual championships during her junior season. Her scoring average of 69.96 is the second-lowest for a single-season in school history. Woad has finished in the top three in the individual standings in 11 of her last 12 tournaments, including five straight and nine of 10 during her junior season.

Woad owns the lowest career scoring average in school history at 70.40 and has earned a program record 10 top-10 individual finishes this year. She is a total of 46 strokes under par in her 10 events this season including a school-record tying 10 strokes under par in the NCAA Lexington Regional championship.

Ting and Woad have finished 1-2 amongst their teammates in seven of the eight events they have played in together during the 2024-25 season.

Florida State enters the 2025 NCAA Championships Finals ranked second (tied) by the Women’s Golf Coaches Association and third by the NCAA in the scoreboard by Clippd national rankings. The Seminoles won the 2025 ACC Championship for the first time in school history, earned the No. 1 seed in the Lexington Regional championship for the first time in school history, and won the third regional championship in school history at the Keane Trace Golf Club in Nicholasville, Ky.

Created in 2014, the ANNIKA Award presented by Stifel is annually awarded to the top female Division I collegiate golfer. The winner is voted on by players, coaches and members of the college golf media. Named for Annika Sorenstam, the award was created in partnership with the Haskins Foundation to acknowledge the top female golfer. Ingrid Lindblad of LSU won the ANNIKA Award in 2024.
