The Sault’s Lauren Podolski is the first soccer player to be inducted into the Indiana State University Sports Hall of Fame, joining an illustrious list of former athletes including Larry Bird
It had been more than 15 years since she dominated Division 1 soccer in the U.S., but the Sault’s Lauren Podolski finally got her call to the hall.
“I was pretty young when I realized it was something I wanted to do. The sport was always really natural to me. I loved playing on a team, and it was just such a fun experience.” “The coach flew all the way to the Sault to have dinner with me and my family and persuaded me to go to Indiana State,” she says. “I ended up getting a scholarship, which was a dream of mine since I was little.”
“I never focused on the records,” she says. “I just focused on each game and lived in the moment. I never thought about the stats until it was all over.”
