WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Maryland's captains sophomore Lindsay Givens (Downingtown, Pa.) and senior Ali Wolff (Richmond, Va.) were named to the All-ACC second team at the annual women's soccer banquet held Wednesday night at Bridger Field House on the Wake Forest campus.

Givens was honored after a stellar season in the backfield. Known for her trademark throw-ins, Givens is the only Maryland field player to play all 1621 minutes this season. She is second on the team in assists with five and has seven total points. For her career, she has 10 assists and is closing in on the all-time top 10 career assists list. She was named to the Soccer America team of the week on Sept. 3 and was a freshman All-American by Soccer Buzz in 1999.

Wolff has been the most dominant goalkeeper in the ACC this season. She leads all starting keepers in the league in goals against average (0.67), save percentage (.831) and shutouts (nine). She has recorded shutouts against ACC teams in three matches, the most any keeper has this season in league play. Overall, Wolff ranks in the top four all-time at Maryland every goalkeeper category, including the all-time mark for career shutouts with 20.5.

The complete release from the ACC and the honorees are listed below.

ACC regular-season champion North Carolina led the 2001 All-Atlantic Coast Conference Women's Soccer teams with three first-team selections, as voted upon by the league's eight head coaches.

The Tar Heels had the most all-conference selections with five. Clemson, Duke, Virginia and Wake Forest had three selections apiece followed by Florida State and Maryland with two each. NC State had one player named to the squad.
