2004 JUNIOR SEASON
Ludeke proved one of the team's most pleasant surprises in her first year as a Horned Frog. She played in 21 matches and started the last 12 before a knee injury cut short her season two weeks before the C-USA tournament. She went through the non-conference schedule quietly, but when TCU hit the C-USA opponents, the junior transfer began dishing out over-50 assist performances on a match-to-match basis. In her first start against Tulane, she dug a career-high 19 balls and passed 59 assists. She tallied 74 assists in the five-game win over East Carolina, just one shy of tying the school match record. Ludeke led the team to seven matches with a .300 hittitng percentage or higher. Following the Charlotte and East Carolina weekend, Ludeke earned Conference USA Setter of the Week honors for helping the Frogs to their best conference start (4-0) in school history. She led the league in conference play with 14.30 assists per game, guiding the Frogs to its most explosive offensive season yet. Her 11.88 assists per game for the season is the second highest single season mark and the best career mark for a Frog. She ranks fifth in career assists with her 760. She also had the fifth most aces in C-USA (26). Her play granted her a third team All Conference USA spot.

She notched a career-high 82 assists at Weber State on September 13, 2002, and had a career-high 18 digs against Texas-Arlington on November 16, 2002.
