An elite center back on the Heights, Laura Georges carried that talent beyond BC to a 12-year professional soccer career in Europe. As a member of the Boston College women’s soccer team, she was a two-time NSCAA All-American in her three-year career. Georges was a semifinalist for the Herman Trophy and earned ACC Defender of the Year in 2006. In a career that spanned 158 games, she anchored a BC back line that was ranked ninth nationally and first in the ACC for shutout percentage in 2005 as she helped guide the Eagles to three NCAA tournaments in her career, including two round of 16 appearances. Prior to arriving on the Heights, Georges made her national team debut with France in 2001 and was a member of France’s 2003 World Cup team. She racked up 188 caps in his international career. Professionally, she split her career between Olympique Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain.
