Lauren (Felsing) Bartsch and Milwaukee went 89-33 in her career (.729 winning percentage), posting a league ledger of 51-11 (.823). Her teams claimed three regular-season Horizon League championships and played in the NCAA Tournament following the 2006, 2008, and 2009 campaigns.
Lauren was one of the best liberos in the Midwest throughout her career, culminating with Horizon League Defensive Player of the Year honors in her final season in 2009. She was a six-time winner of the Horizon League Defensive Player of the Week award and also earned First-Team All-Horizon League status as well as AVCA Honorable Mention All-Region as a senior, capping the campaign with Horizon League Tournament MVP honors to lead the Panthers back to the NCAA Tournament for what was a second straight season.
She ended her career with 1,929 digs to finish as the all-time program leader and the only player to ever top 1,900. She concluded her time in league play by reaching double-figures in digs her final 55 consecutive matches and also had a streak of 61 in a row in double-figures snapped prior to her final stretch. She still holds the school's single-season record of 645 digs set back in 2008 and did hold the No. 2 spot with 572 at the time it was set in 2009. She wrapped up her career with the second-most matches played in school history at 122, a number that still ranks fourth.
Felsing was also a standout in the classroom earning CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American accolades in each of her last two seasons (second team in 2008/third team in 2009) and league all-academic honors each of her final three seasons.
