Luckily, Eckerd College Head Women\u2019s Basketball Coach Paul Honsinger \u201998<\/a> could see the potential.<\/p>\n

Now, the senior marketing<\/a> and international business<\/a> student is having her best season ever for the Eckerd Tritons and racking up national accolades and program records for the Division II team. Lauryn ranks second in the nation in steals and steals per game, third in assists per game, fifth in total assists and 16th in minutes played.<\/p>\n

The Eckerd Tritons women<\/a> have made an NCAA Division II Tournament appearance in the two previous seasons and even reached the team\u2019s first Sweet 16 in 2023. Lauryn contributed to that success by accumulating 824 points, 458 rebounds, 463 assists and 200 steals during her time on the team. As of early February, she\u2019s also averaging 15.54 points, 5.65 rebounds, 4.24 steals and 6.5 assists per game this season.<\/p>\n

Her favorite of her achievements this banner season is scoring 43 points against Lynn University on Jan. 3. The performance set the single-game record for Eckerd basketball<\/a> (men\u2019s and women\u2019s), garnered the most points by a Division II women\u2019s basketball player this season, and tied the Sunshine State Conference<\/a> single-game record. Between her points and assists, she contributed to 62 of Eckerd\u2019s total points in the 69\u201356 win.<\/p>\n

\u201cDefense has always been my best skill, so having 43 points was good,\u201d she says. \u201cIt was their home court. I just felt confident. It was a game where I just went at the basket and scored.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit”

In the classroom, Lauryn\u2019s newfound passion for international relations developed organically.<\/p>\n

She took Introduction to International Relations with Political Science Professor Mary Meyer McAleese, Ph.D.<\/a>, and fell in love with the in-depth conversations on conflicts, including the Russia-Ukraine War. When it came time to choose courses for her final semester at Eckerd, McAleese\u2019s Diplomacy and International Relations made Lauryn\u2019s short list.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really like the courses and learning more about how the governments work,\u201d she explains. \u201cI\u2019m not sure I\u2019d want to major in it, but it is the class that I like the most.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through March, Lauryn will focus on her team and advancing their success. She\u2019s a senior leader, and she knows her play makes an impact.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a bigger role. I have to score more and play well for my team,\u201d Lauryn adds. \u201cI have to make the team feel good. As a leader, I have improved a lot since my years of being here.
