Sophomore Lauren Hansen dribbles down the field in a game against Richfield on Oct 7. St. Paul Academy and Summit School won 7-0. “I am grateful for my team and the great season,” Hansen said.

Here’s one for the record books: Sophomore Lauren Hansen scored 22 goals in her Girls Varsity Soccer season, the most anyone has scored in a single season at St. Paul Academy and Summit School. She topped off the record during a playoff game on Oct. 9 against Visitation, scoring two goals. Along with the SPA record, she is ranked high on the list for goals scored in the state.  “For every goal I score there’s a girl on the field who worked twice as hard to get me the ball. I wouldn’t be anywhere without my teammates. They deserve just as much recognition for their 22 assists and hard work as I do,” Hansen said.
