NAPERVILLE, Ill. - After back-to-back top-10 finishes, the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin announced freshman Natalie Ocheltree (Normal, Ill.-University) of the 18th-ranked Illinois Wesleyan University women's golf team as the golfer of the week, Thursday, Oct, 22. Ocheltree picked up a runner-up finish at the CCIW Championship, Oct. 1-3, before climbing the leaderboard at the Golfweek October Classic Oct. 18-20 to tie for 10th.

The freshman played in six rounds over the two tournaments for a 75.1 stroke average. Her best 18 came in the first round of the CCIW Championship, firing a one-over par 72. She followed that with a 74 and 77 for a career-best 54-hole total of 223. Against a stacked field in Florida, Ocheltree shot back-to-back 75s to close the tournament and work her way into the top-10 for her fourth top-10 of the season. The rookie's performance helped the Titans win the 2026 CCIW Championship and finish fourth at the Golfweek October Classic.

With the fall schedule concluded, Ocheltree and the rest of the Titans prepare for the spring season which will begin in March 2027.
