by Author


GREENWOOD, Ind. — Senior Macy Ludwig ran the Illinois Wesleyan University women’s golf team’s streak to four straight years with a College Sports Communicators Academic All-America Tuesday, July 8, as the senior was voted to the first team. Ludwig joins Lexi Onsrud and Emma Thorman as the program’s all-time honorees.

Furthermore, IWU’s all-time Academic All-America list now sits at 167, which is top-25 across NCAA Division I, II, and III, as well as top-10 in Division III. To date, seven Titans have reeled in CSC Academic All-America honors during the 2024-25 academic year as Ludwig joins Jen Kuhn (softball), Ava Khoury (softball), Nick Roper (men’s basketball), Mallory Powers (women’s basketball), Lauren Huber (women’s basketball), and Kannyn Boyd (women’s volleyball).

Ludwig enjoyed a stellar senior season, in which she was voted the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin Women’s Golfer of the Year and a Women’s Golf Coaches Association All-Region selection. A three-time CCIW Women’s Golfer of the Week honoree, Ludwig posted a team-best 74.5 strokes per round average of 12 events. She won the league championship and placed inside the top-10 in six tournaments. The Effingham, Ill. native posted a record-setting 54-hole total of even-par 216 at the NCAA Division I Redbird Invitational, where she took fifth-place. Ludwig later tied that mark at the CCIW Championship en route to medalist honors and the fourth win of her career. She carded seven rounds of par-or-better and was also named the CCIW Elite 26 Award recipient, a CCIW Jack Swartz Award honoree, and Academic All-CCIW.

Ludwig graduated from Illinois Wesleyan this past spring with a degree in marketing while maintaining a 3.90 GPA. She holds the second-best career scoring average in program history at 77.21 strokes per round and was a key member of IWU’s top-four single-season team scoring averages.
