Madelyn Laird brings size, rebounding, and efficient low-volume production to Ave Maria’s front line
Laird is a 6-foot-2 junior forward whose value is built less on box-score volume and more on length, rebound presence, and efficient spot minutes; in 2024-25 she played in six games, totaled 29 minutes, scored 5 points, and added 7 rebounds and 2 steals, with a season-high 10 minutes in a win over Kuyper. She fits best as a role player who can defend, crash the glass, and provide stable, low-mistake frontcourt depth for a team that needs toughness and size rather than offensive creation.[1][2]
