Smith, Mansson make All-SEC second team in golf

Nicole Smith and Nathalie Mansson of Tennessee both were named to the All-SEC second-team in women's golf Thursday.

Mansson also was named to the all-freshman team.

For Smith, it was her third all-conference selection. She was a second-team honoree in 2006 and 2007. Returning from injury, the senior had three top-10 finishes in four tournaments and ranked 16th in the SEC in the Golfstat Cup individual rankings.

Smith's career scoring average of 74.83 is fourth best in program history.

Mansson's scoring average of 73.77 ranks as the fourth-best single-season average in team history and the lowest average by a Lady Vols freshman. She has been Tennessee's top finisher in five of eight tournaments and has five top-15 finishes. She ranks 11th in the SEC.

Smith and Mansson tied for 13th in the individual standings last weekend at the SEC tournament in Blythewood, S.C.
