do-it-all forward with ACC All-Conference impact
In the 2025-26 season, Laura Ziegler has been a high-usage, all-around forward for Louisville, averaging about 11.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.0 assists while leading the Cardinals in both points and rebounds. She arrived from Saint Joseph’s with a reputation for versatility, and that shows up in her blend of scoring, rebounding, passing, and perimeter shooting; she was also named 2025-26 First Team All-ACC. Why care? She’s the kind of glue-star who can stretch defenses, rebound out of her area, and make teammates better—very “plug-and-play” for a winning system.
