Lauren Ford Sophiea was a member of the Lipscomb volleyball team from 2011-2015, helping lead the team to new heights during her time in the purple and gold. Earning a spot on the ASUN All-Decade Team (2010-19), her impact on the program was felt as soon as she stepped on campus, as she was a unanimous selection to the 2011 ASUN All-Freshman Team. Sophiea is one of just a handful of Lipscomb athletes to eclipse the 1,000-kill mark, finishing her career with 1,597 kills, a mark that ranks fifth all-time in the ASUN and third all-time at Lipscomb. Producing at a high level of consistency throughout her career, the outside hitter finished third all-time at Lipscomb in total career points (1,768) and points per set (4.03). Sophiea earned All ASUN Second Team honors once and All ASUN First Team honors twice in her career - one of only six Bison volleyball players to be recognized with such an honor in three different years. Twice a member of the ASUN All-Tournament team, she earned national recognition by earning a spot on the 2013 AVCA All-South Region Division I Team, was Honorable Mention AVCA All-America, and was an invitee to the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team open tryout. She also excelled in the classroom as the 2014 ASUN Scholar Athlete of the Year, a First Team Academic All-American her senior season and one of only three Lipscomb volleyball players all-time to be named a three-time member of the ASUN All-Academic Team.
