Brooke Bechtel Named to 2025 Allstate NACDA Good Works Team
Bechtel was named to the inaugural Allstate NACDA Good Works Team for the Fall season. This honor recognizes a select group of student-athletes who are leading in their sport, in the classroom, and in communities across the country.
 
Bechtel is driven to make a positive difference, as the Berea, Ohio, native created "Women's Wednesday," which fosters connections among female athletes across all sports at Cleveland State. She also partnered with Shaker Heights City School District to establish the annual Student-Athlete Summit, helping high school athletes transition to collegiate athletics.
