In her first season with the Conquistadors, she helped guide the program to a historic 46-19 record, the most wins in school history.

Before transferring to Oklahoma, she starred at Furman University, earning 2023 Southern Conference Player of the Year honors, NFCA All-South Region Third Team recognition and back-to-back All-Southern Conference First Team selections in 2022 and 2023.
During her standout senior season at Furman, Ludlam hit .372 with 10 home runs, 15 doubles and 41 RBI while posting a .676 slugging percentage. Over four seasons with the Paladins, she developed into one of the Southern Conference’s top offensive performers, excelling both behind the plate and in the infield.
