Chapel Hill, N.C. - University of North Carolina golfer Dustin Bray has been named to the 2004 All-Atlantic Coast Conference team as selected by a vote of the league's nine head coaches. Bray, a senior from Asheboro, N.C., is the Tar Heels' first four-time all-conference honoree.
Clemson, this year's ACC championship team, placed three players on the 13-man squad - seniors Matt Hendrix and Gregg Jones and junior Jack Ferguson. Georgia Tech and Wake Forest also had three representatives each. For the Yellow Jackets, juniors Nicholas Thompson and Chan Wongluekiet and freshman Roberto Castro were selected. The three Demon Deacon honorees were senior Bill Haas, sophomore Kyle Reifers and freshman Sean Moore. Duke had a pair of sophomores named to the squad, Ryan Blaum and Nathan Smith, while senior Fernando Mechereffe of NC State rounds out the team.
Wake Forest's Haas was named the ACC Player of the Year for the second consecutive year while Georgia Tech's Roberto Castro was selected Rookie of the Year and Larry Penley from Clemson received Coach of the Year accolades for the second straight year and sixth time in his career.
Carolina's Bray is the winningest Tar Heel in school history with seven victories to his credit. This year he added the Franklin Street Partners Invitational and the Duke Golf Classic to his list of wins. Bray was tied for medalist honors after regulation play in the Andrea Brotto Cavalier Classic, but finished as the runner-up after losing to Andrea Signor of the Italian National Team in a playoff.
