She recorded six top-25 and four top-10 finishes, including an individual championship at the White Sands Bahamas Invitational. She was the top finisher at three tournaments for USF. She posted 78 birdies and three eagles on the year. She recorded a low round of 68 (-5) in the final round of the Pat Bradley Invitational and a 68 (-4) in the opening round of the American Conference Championship. She finished with five rounds in the 60s.
Knight finished the season averaging 73.22 per round and earned her first WGCA All-American Scholar nod. She recorded six top-25 and three top-10 finishes during the 2025-26 season. Her best finish came at the Bell Bank "Pay It Forward" Collegiate, where she finished third. She recorded three rounds in the 60s, including a career-low 67 (-4) in Round 1 of the Bell Bank "Pay It Forward" Collegiate. She was the Bulls' top performer in four tournaments. She tallied 66 birdies and one eagle during her first year.
Webb appeared in seven tournaments and averaged 76.30 over 20 rounds. She earned her first WGCA All-American Scholar honor.

Her best finish came at the Pat Bradley Invitational, where she recorded a 221 (+5) and tied for 11th. She recorded 44 birdies for the season.
The criteria for selection to the All-American Scholar Team are among the most stringent in all of college athletics and continue to demonstrate the high-level academic achievements of our players. To be selected, a student-athlete must have an overall cumulative grade point average of 3.50 or higher, be an amateur and remain on the team's roster through the conclusion of the team's season and play in 50% of the college's regularly scheduled competitive rounds during the year nominated through the team's conference championship.
