Olivia competed in all 10 events for Marshall, finishing second in scoring average at 76.2 in her 30 round of action this year. Olivia carded three top-10 finishes and two top-5 finishes in her 2024-25 year. Her best finish was a 4th place finish at the Butler Fall Invitational when she showed consistency through all three rounds, going 72-71-71. She also notched a top-5 finish to start the spring, going 70-75-71 at the Columbia Classic. The opening round 70 and final round 71 were both under par, which helped her finish at Even for the tournament.

SOPHOMORE SEASON (2023-24): Olivia competed in nine of 10 events for the Thundering Herd in 2023-24, ending the year with three top-10 finishes and finishing with a stroke average of 75.7. Her best effort in the Spring 2024 season came in the 2024 SBC Championships when she finished T-7 at +3 after carding a pair of rounds at par or better. Her 1-under 71 in the 2nd round of the tournament was her season-best score to par, matching a 1-under 70 in the final round of the Atlantic Invitational earlier in spring. In the Fall 2023 season, Olivia had a pair of Top-10 finishes and three Top-15 finishes in five events. Olivia earned the SBC Women's Golfer of the Week award after she had a T-4 finish at the Butler Fall Invitational. The tournament was highlighted by her season-best Even-par 70. She also had eight birdies in the tournament. In the Jennifer Duke Invitational, Kochan earned a T-7 finish after consistent rounds of 71 and 72, which helped the team to a 2nd place finish. Olivia also carded an Even par 72 in tough final round conditions at the Charlotte Invitational to earn a T-12 finish.
FRESHMAN SEASON (2022-23): Olivia competed in all 10 events during her freshman season, finishing with four top-25 efforts and recording a 77.3 stroke average in 29 rounds on the year. Her best effort came in her first tournament with the Herd when she finished T-16 at the Jennifer Duke Invitational. Olivia's best round came in the Spring when she carded a 2-under 70 in the second round of the GCU Invitational. She also had a pair of Even-par rounds - one at the Colonel Classic and another at the Charlotte Invitational.
HERD FILE: Started high school at John Paul II High School before transferring to Plano West in 2020-21. While at John Paul II, led her team to a 2nd place finish in the State Championship while finishing 6th individually. Parents are Laura and Curt Kochan. Her father played collegiate golf at Baylor. Olivia is majoring in Sports Business and Management Information Systems. Came to Marshall because she felt at home as soon as she stepped on campus and loved the community.
