Long is the lone member of the team to boast perfect grades as she boasts a 4.0 GPA in Organizational Communications. She was only 2017 recipient with a 4.0 GPA as well.
 
"This is just another testament to how hard Hanley has worked not only on the course but off of it as well," head coach Chris Adamssaid. "She is a tremendous student-athlete and leader for us and her 4.0 GPA speaks for itself on how important her academics are to her."
 
A Two-time WGCA Academic All-American, Long leads the Blue Raiders in stroke average this season at 73.7 strokes per round and has a team best nine rounds of par or better on the season, three of which were in the 60s.
 
Long's 4-under 68 in the second round of UTSA's Maryb S. Kauth Invitational is tied for the best round of the season by a Blue Raiders, as is her 54-hole total of  4-under 212 at the Johnie Imes Invitational that earned her a Top 5 finish. Both marks are career lows for Long while the latter is tied for the third best three-round score in Blue Raider history.
 
The Clarksville, Tenn., native has led Middle Tennessee in three of its eight events so far on the season with three Top 12 finishes on the season.
 
Off the course, Long is also a member of the Chi Alpha Sigma Student-Athlete Honor Society and has twice received the MTSU Academic Achievement Award.
 
Long and the Blue Raiders enter the Conference USA Championship at Verandah Club in Fort Myers, Fla., on Monday looking to avenge last season's second place finish with their third title in four seasons.
