Laura Kay Berg (born January 6, 1975) is an American head college softball coach of the Oregon State Beavers and former collegiate 4-time All-American softball player at the position of center fielder from Santa Fe Springs, California. She played for the Fresno State Bulldogs from 1994–1998 where she was a Women's College World Series National Champion. She is one of only four women to have won four Olympic medals in softball, having won a medal at every Olympics the sport was contested. She owns offense records at Fresno State and is second all-time in NCAA Division I career hits and at-bats.
Berg was born to Harvey and Audrey Berg, along with her twin sister Randi Berg. Both Berg sisters enrolled at Fresno State and started for the school's softball team. In her first season, she was named a National Fastpitch Coaches Association Third Team All-American. The Bulldogs made it to the WCWS and took their first game before dropping back-to-back shutout games against eventual champions the Arizona Wildcats and the Oklahoma State Cowgirls on May 27, 1994. Berg had two hits in the tournament.
As a sophomore, Berg would earn First Team All-American honors while hitting over .400 and setting a new school season record for triples, which also led the WAC conference. She currently still claims that record.
