Season in Review
Laurich was a steady presence in the Mount Union lineup during the 2025-26 season, starting in 26 of the team’s 27 games. He provided essential frontcourt depth and defensive length, contributing:
- 6.0 Points per game
- 5.7 Rebounds per game
- 16 Blocks (third-highest on the team)
Laurich’s journey to Alliance began in 2023 when he transferred from Ohio Dominican. Although an injury sidelined him for the majority of the 2024-25 season, he bounced back to become a reliable starter for head coach Mike Fuline this year. His career highlight at Mount Union remains a dominant performance against Ohio Northern in early 2024, where he posted a career-high 18 points.
