Ludemann decided to find a new collegiate soccer home.  She was eventually drawn to explore St. John’s, due in large part to the encouragement of two Long Island friends, who happened to be playing for the St. John’s Women’s Soccer Program.  Luckily for the Red Storm, Ludemann listened to the advice of her former youth soccer teammates, Tara Mendoza and Courtney Lane and took her soccer prowess to the Queens campus.  Now, the three Long Islanders have become a key factor for the Red Storm’s 15-Member Senior Class’ first ever NCAA College Cup run.
