LEWISBURG, Pa. – A strong final round 300, tied for the fifth lowest single round team score in program history, lifted the Lehigh women's golf team to a second place finish in a 13-team field as the fall-opening Bucknell Invitational concluded Sunday at the Bucknell Golf Club.
Â
Lehigh's 54-hole total of 906 (301-305-300) marks the second-lowest 54 hole team score in program history. The Mountain Hawks finished the 2023 Patriot League Championship at 895.

Senior Madison Pineda and first-year Reese Hannon led the way for Lehigh as both players finished in a tie for eighth place at 13 over par 223. Pineda shot 74 Sunday with one birdie to finish at 75-74-74 while Hannon closed with a 75 after opening with two consecutive 74s. Hannon birdied two of her final five holes on Sunday.
Â
First-year Alana Hall was also in the top 20 as she tied for 18th place at 230 (76-79-75). Hall had a team-high three birdies in Sunday's final round.
Â
All five Mountain Hawks shot in the 70s in Sunday's final round. Sophomore Stefania Fedun carded a 76 with one birdie to finish in a tie for 24th place at 233 (76-81-76).
Â
Junior Yuki Zhu shot her second straight 78 and tied for 29th place at 236 (80-78-78). Zhu made two birdies in Sunday's final round.
Â
Penn cruised to the team title, shooting 874 and posting a 32-stroke victory over the Mountain Hawks. Host Bucknell finished third, five strokes behind the Mountain Hawks.
Â
The Quakers also had five of the top six individual finishers, led by medalist Debby Chang at seven over par 217.
Â
The Mountain Hawks will return to action at the Navy Fall Invitational, Sept. 28-29 in Annapolis, Md.
