Hannah Tong, a three-time NCAA Division II All-American for Findlay, will be entering her fifth season as an assistant coach with the Oilers during the 2023 campaign. Tong has an overall record of 52-56 as the assistant coach at UF.

The 2022 season ended for the Oilers in Great Midwest Athletic Conference Quarterfinals. They finished the season with a 18-14 record and a 14-4 mark in the conference. Tong coached five players to all-conference honors, including the 2022 G-MAC Player of the Year, Journey Blevins. She led both Blevins and Alana Pohlman to Midwest All-Region honors. Blevins was later named all-American by the AVCA.

Tong helped lead the Oilers to a 16-9 overall record in 2021. She guided freshman standout Journey Blevins, who arguably had one of the best freshman seasons in program history, to Great Midwest Freshman of the Year, AVCA Midwest Freshman of the Year, first team all-Region by the D2CCA, all-American by the AVCA, and all-American by the D2CCA. 

Tong, who coached at St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y. after graduating from Findlay in 2017, is one of the most decorated Oilers in program history. A first team All-American in 2016, Tong was also named honorable mention All-American in 2014 and 2015. A three-time, first team all-Midwest Region pick, Tong was named the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Attacker of the Year in 2015 and again in 2016. She was also named first team all-GLIAC three times and ranks sixth all-time at Findlay with 1,563 kills.
