She shot 75-72-69-69 (285, -3) while leading Duke to a runner-up finish. Hannemann also finished second at the NCAA East Regional, where she shot a four-under par 212 (72-68-72) while helping to lead Duke to the team title.

The Rolex College Golfer of the Month award is voted on by members of the College Golf Foundation's Golfer of the Month Committee.

Each winner will receive a certificate from the College Golf Foundation in recognition of this honor.
