Marie Kiefer is Ball State’s two-way engine and MAC Defensive Player of the Year
Marie Kiefer, a 6'2" senior forward for Ball State, stands out as a rare do-everything connector: in 2024-25 she led the MAC in assists (6.3 per game) and assist/turnover ratio while also earning MAC Defensive Player of the Year honors, a strong sign of high IQ, versatility, and impact on both ends. She brings value beyond box scores with size, passing, efficiency, and a proven ability to steady a winning team—making her a strong fit for programs that want a disciplined, unselfish, defense-first forward who can initiate offense.
