Competition
Ludlow has been a huge part of solidifying Head Coach Marci Jobson’s excellent defensive principles that have led Baylor to two of its most historic seasons as a program, including winning the Big 12 Championship title for the first time in 2012 and advancing to the NCAA Sweet 16 for the first time. As anchor of the defense, Kat helped Baylor set a program-record 0.53 goals against average in 2012, breaking the mark she helped set in 2011 (0.79) and 2010 (0.81). She has 14 points (six assists, four goals) in 67 career matches (47 starts) and is coming off her best season. In 2012, she earned Big 12 All-Tournament Team, Second Team NSCAA All-Central Region and Second Team All-Big 12 honors by setting a career high with nine points on three goals and three assists.
