Elizabeth Hoffman Chesser won the 1999 NAIA individual championship as a true freshman with the Bulldogs.  She led TLU to a runner-up team finish in the 1999 NAIA Women’s Golf National Championship.  The 1999 season was just the second year for women’s golf as a team sport at TLU.  In addition to winning the NAIA individual title, Chesser played in the NCAA Women’s Golf Championship and finished seventh overall.  She is the only student-athlete in school history to make All-America Teams in the NAIA and in the NCAA Division II.  When TLU transitioned from NAIA/NCAA Division II to NCAA Division III, Chesser transferred to the University of Mississippi.  She played for Ole Miss for three seasons and was the Lady Rebels’ Most Valuable Player in her senior year.  Chesser was a finalist for the SEC Student-Athlete of the Year, was an NCAA Woman of the Year nominee and was the first student-athlete in the state of Mississippi to be inducted to Phi Beta Kappa.  She graduated Magna cum Laude from Ole Miss in 2002 and earned her law degree from University of Mississippi School of Law in 2006.
