During her four seasons at Furman, Ludlam started all 169 games and finished with a .309 batting average. She stands second on the Paladins’ all-time list with 25 home runs and ranks fifth on the career chart with 117 runs batted in. Her 45 career doubles hold fourth place in Furman’s all-time ledger.
