Columbia junior Riley Weiss was named the 2025-26 All-Met Division I Women’s College Basketball Player of the Year on April 21, according to an announcement from the Met Basketball Writers Association. The association also selected Weiss for First Team All-Met and recognized senior guard/forward Perri Page with Second Team All-Met honors.
The award marks Weiss as only the third player in Columbia program history to receive this distinction, following Abbey Hsu in 2023-24 and Camille Zimmerman in 2016-17. All three have earned their honors during Megan Griffith’s tenure as head coach. The MBWA women’s awards began in 1996.
The recipients will be honored at the 93rd MBWA Haggerty Awards dinner on Thursday, April 23, at Sleepy Hollow Hotel & Conference Center in Tarrytown, New York. The event is described as “the longest-running, media-managed college basketball awards program in the United States” and will be live streamed.
Weiss’s recent achievements include being named an All-America Honorable Mention by both the Associated Press and Women’s Basketball Coaches Association. She was also recognized as Ivy League Player of the Year and unanimously voted First Team All-Ivy League. In addition, she was Most Outstanding Player for the 2026 WBIT after averaging over 21 points per game with strong shooting percentages to help lead Columbia to a tournament title. Columbia became “the first Ivy League women’s basketball program to win a major postseason tournament,” according to school records.
During her junior season, Weiss set a single-season record for Columbia with 662 points and averaged over twenty points per game—becoming just the fourth player at Columbia to do so. Her national rankings included No. 23 in NCAA scoring and top twenty placements in total points and three-pointers made per game.
Perri Page received her first career All-Met honor after averaging nearly fifteen points per game along with notable contributions across rebounds, steals, assists, and field goal percentage—leading both her team and ranking highly nationally among peers.
