FRISCO, Texas – The Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) announced Wednesday its inaugural fall watchlists for the Jackie Steinmann WGCA National Coach of the Year, PING WGCA Player of the Year, and WGCA Freshman of the Year. Lander's Sarah Reed was one of only 21 Division II players named to the Player of the Year watchlist.

Reed, who is currently rated the No. 10 player in the country, captured back-to-back Individual Medalist trophies to start the 2026-27 campaign, winning The City with Spirit Fall Classic at Cleveland Country Club in Tennessee, and the Savannah Lakes Invitational at Monticello Golf Club in McCormick in September.

She followed those winning performances up with a third-place finish at the Glassy Mountain Autumn Classic in Landrum during Lander's third tournament this fall – a tournament the Bearcats claimed the team championship.

The Bearcats will begin their spring competition schedule in just over three months with Flagler's World Golf Invitational at Slammer and Squire in St. Augustine on Feb. 8-9.
