BIO

U.S. defender Laubach's story of National Team success stems from her perseverance. Although an official member of the National Team since 2005, Laubach was not selected to the 2008 Beijing Team and was demoted to the development squad. Determined to redirect her career, the 2005 Wake Forest University alum mastered the drag flick skill, becoming an international threat and a leading scorer on the U.S. Team on penalty corners.
