The Harvard women's golf team finished second at the 2026 Ivy League Championship, finishing with a team score of 907 (+43), just seven strokes behind the Columbia Lions. A strong start placed Harvard at the top of the leaderboard after the first day, with standout performances from Lucy Yuan and Iris Wang who both secured spots on the All-Championship team. Despite a strong effort, a final day surge from Columbia pushed Harvard out of contention for the title, marking the third time in four years they have finished as runners-up.

By the Numbers
  • Harvard scored 907 (+43) to finish second in the tournament.
  • Lucy Yuan finished second individually with a score of 220 (+6).

What's Next

With another solid season under their belt, the Harvard women's golf team will look to build on this year's performance and aim for the Ivy League title next season, particularly focusing on the areas where they fell short in this championship.

Bottom Line

The Crimson's second-place finish underscores their competitive prowess in the Ivy League, but they'll need to refine their strategy and resilience to capture their eighth conference title in the upcoming seasons.
