The Columbia women's golf team is making a notable return to postseason play, currently competing in the NCAA Women's Golf Ann Arbor Regional for the first time in 19 years. After the first round, the Lions are tied for eighth place in the 12-team field, shooting a team score of 12-over-par 296. First-year Emily Zeng leads the charge with a strong opening round of 1-under-par 70, featuring two birdies and just a single bogey. Her performance places her inside the top 10 on the individual leaderboard. Teammate Kristina Xu also contributed with a solid 2-over 73, while Sarah Shao posted a round of 4-over 75. In the second round, Zeng continued her strong play, carding a 4-over 75 and maintaining her position in the top 25 overall, leading the tournament in total pars made with 28. The Lions will look to build on this momentum as they head into the final round on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the Columbia baseball team is set to begin its Ivy League Tournament campaign against top-seeded Yale on Friday, May 15. The Lions, who earned the No. 4 seed after a challenging regular season, will face a formidable opponent in the Bulldogs, who dominated the conference to secure the top spot. The winner of this matchup will advance to the winners' bracket, while the losing team will face elimination against either Penn or Brown. Columbia's recent performance against Yale has been competitive, with the teams splitting their season series. The Lions are looking to defend their Ivy League title and secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament with a strong showing this weekend.
