Laci did all of that while only playing three seasons.
One of Laci's most memorable performances came with a quadruple-double performance to cap off the 2014 Sabercats' Cinderella run at the NCCAA DII National Championship. Gorski's performance in that game was an exclamation point to a 77-69 win over Arlington Baptist, and Laci put up 16 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists, and 12 blocks in a span of 40 minutes.
