Lauren Stafford Commits to Montana State University

Posted On November 1, 2012 by PUSC

“I am happy to announce that I have verbally committed to Montana State University at Billings! Never in a million years did I believe I would be playing college soccer. I have visited the campus and can honestly say I am in love with not only the location, but the coaching staff, players, and academic programs they offer. I plan on either majoring in Biology or Health and Human Performances. I know the school will make me a better player and person throughout my next four years.

I am so blessed to have a family that supports me 100%, and has for the past 18 years of my life. Thank you Mom, Dad, and Jenna; you all mean the world to me and the sacrifice and time you’ve given to me the past 12 years I’ll be forever grateful.

As for my coaches, thank you first of all to Norm Chavez, who taught me not only the basics, but taught me how to love and appreciate the game of soccer. You are an incredible coach, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you to George Vallas and Ron Sanchez, whose love for the game made my time with them unforgettable. Thank you especially to Ron Benjamin. Your time and dedication to Placer United is so greatly appreciated. Your willingness to push me harder than I ever have, and your direct coaching style has truly improved me throughout this season. Montana would not have been possible if not for you, so thank you for making my dream of college soccer come true. Thank you to my AMAZING team whose skill continues to astonish me daily. You all are my sisters for life so thank you for making my last season of club soccer the absolute best.”

—Lauren Stafford
