BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Sophomore Reese Hannon and senior Yuki Zhu from Lehigh women's golf were named to All-Patriot League teams announced Wednesday. Hannon was selected to the first team for her first career all-league honor. Zhu becomes a four-time All-Patriot League honoree with her selection to the second team.
In a change from previous years, the All-Patriot League teams were voted on by the league's head coaches after the season, rather than being determined by performance at the Patriot League Championship.
Hannon played all 31 competitive rounds across 11 tournaments, finishing with a 77.9 scoring average. Her 2025-26 season included seven top 20 finishes, including a pair of top 10s. Hannon finished second at the Autumn Harvest tournament shooting 211 and establishing a new program low total for a 54-hole tournament. The runner-up finish included rounds of 70 and 69. At the Patriot League Championship, Hannon tied for 16th place.
Zhu concludes her career with two second team honors and two first team plaudits for the Mountain Hawks. She was Lehigh's top finisher in the last six tournaments she played in. Zhu played 25 rounds across nine tournaments with a team-best 77 scoring average. She finished in the top 20 in seven of nine tournaments, including five top 10s. Zhu led Lehigh at the Patriot League Championship, along with sophomore Alana Hall, tying for ninth place.
Emma Tang, the individual champion from Patriot League champions Navy, was selected Patriot League Player of the Year. Bucknell's Joelle Johnson was named Rookie of the Year, with the Bison, under head coach Laura Tyler-Cook winning Coaching Staff of the Year.
