An around-the-way girl, Lauren Woods comes to SLU from nearby Belleville East HS where she was All Everything. Lauren chose the Billikens over several other respectable programs & the Billikens couldn’t be happier.

In addition to getting steals and scoring lay ups, Lauren enjoys cliff diving in Costa Rica, shopping, (you should see this girl’s shoe collection!), Philip, and working on getting her Xclusive Girls clothing line trademarked. .

The Freshman Diaries – LAUREN WOODS


Where is Myspace? - Diary Entry #2

Most college students are familiar with the social networking website Myspace. The website is popular, fun, and it allows the users to exchange thoughts and ideas. Although I enjoy passing time in the virtual world of myspace, I now find myself in the "real world" of college athletics.

My role as a Saint Louis University student is clearly defined. I still must develop an understanding of my role in this wonderful basketball  program. In other words, where is MY Space?

The recruiting process is over, (Man, those were the days). I am now being introduced to the hard knock life of a collegiate student athlete. Being a freshman certainly has its share of challenges. Everything is new to me. The university, living on my own, my classmates, the coaches, and my teammates.

My teammates are talented and want to win. Although we function and execute as a team, each individual brings something special to the table. Every player on the team was their high school team's "go to" player. My teammates were All this, All that, Miss this, MVP's, Best Offensive this, Best Defensive that. I know because I "googled" each and every one of them.

But a star is not truly a star until it finds its place in the sky. As a freshman, I'm not exactly sure what to expect during the upcoming season. However, I know one thing...I have got to find “myspace”!.
