Fun Facts about Lauren

Quirky facts. Inspired by her game.

She was the 14th overall pick in the 2019 NWSL draft as just the second player to be selected from Colorado College.

When she first joined NC Courage, it was a surreal moment for her to sit across legends like Crystal Dunn and Abby Dahlkemper in the locker room.

Her advice to her younger self would be to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

She has two dogs: Scout, a rescue, and Winnie, a golden retriever.

She loves hiking with her dogs.

She hikes in Louisville at places like Seneca, Cherokee, and the Parklands, and enjoys high-altitude trails in Colorado, especially 14ers.

She loves skiing and even used to ski race before choosing to focus on football.

Skiing remains a top pastime for her, especially when she's back in Colorado with her family during Christmas.

She originally wore number 2 in college because it was available and college was a great experience for her. Though she didn’t realize it was traditionally a defender’s number, it became fitting when she transitioned to right back, and its significance has grown over time.
