Chose Maryland Over: Virginia, Yale and Providence

I chose Maryland because: "I loved the campus and prestige of the University. Maryland was a perfect fit for me with the balance of academics and soccer."

Coach Morgan on Berman: "Lauren will be one of the most polished players technically to arrive in College Park. She has a variety of tools to her game. She is very smooth and composed when she is confronted with pressure. Lauren takes a lot of pride in her development as a player. I love the fact every time I see her compete she has added something new to her repertoire. Lauren will compete on Day One for a starting position in our midfield. "
