Ludwig Honored as Orange Legend

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Syracuse alumna Sue Ludwig has been named the Orange's 2014 ACC Women's Basketball Legend by the conference office. The Legends will be honored at the 2014 ACC Women's Basketball Tournament, which will be held March 5-9 at the Greensboro Coliseum.

A standout for Syracuse from 1984-88, Ludwig helped lead the Orange women's basketball team to the 1985 and 1988 NCAA Tournaments.

She was named first-team All-Big East her senior year, second-team All-Big East her junior year, and took Big East Player of the Week honors twice. The Whitehall, Pa. native ended her career with 1,214 points, 529 assists and 254 steals. In Syracuse history, she ranks 13th in points, fourth in assists, fourth in steals, seventh in free throws made (306), ninth in free throw percentage (.765) and third in minutes played (3,879).

Ludwig has continued her career in women's basketball, as she is the head coach of Westhill High School. In 2011, Ludwig posted her 400th career victory at Westhill and was inducted into the Greater Syracuse Sports Hall of Fame.

The Legends will be honored at the annual ACC Women's Basketball Legends' Luncheon on Saturday, March 8, at 1 p.m., and then will be introduced to the Coliseum crowd at halftime of the first semifinal game that evening. The ACC Women's Basketball Legends program honors both players and coaches from each of the ACC's 15 schools who have contributed to the league's rich tradition.

Tickets to the Legends Lunch are priced at $35 each and can be obtained by calling 1-336-369-4673. Quantities are limited.

Included in this year's class are 13 former-student-athletes and two former head coaches who represent four decades of women's basketball. Below is a complete list of this year's Legends.
