At USF (2005-2006): Competed in one match for the Dons with twin sister and doubles partner Kelly Hickey.

Personal: Lauren Hickey... goal for the season is to have fun playing tennis... chose USF for the school tradition and history... favorite quote is from the Sandlot, "There's heroes and there's legends. Heroes get remembered but legends never die, follow your heart, kid, and you'll never go wrong"... would like to go to the Olympics one day... favorite sports hero is Rudy... favorite book is the "DaVinci Code"... favorite musical artists are Dave Matthews and Jack Johnson... enjoys cooking, shopping and dancing in her spare time... parents are Kevin and Terri Hickey... born May 6, 1985 in San Francisco, CA.

Coach Somers' Take

Nickname: The Twinz

Tennis: A transfer from Santa Rosa Junior College or is it Ursuline? No, wait, Ursuline is the High School, Lauren just talks about it enough to be a university. Lauren is a doubles specialist on the court who also specializes in every intramural sport available at USF, including Dodge Ball (btw, a league finalist). She tries to make our tennis team into a basketball team or swim team by suggesting those as conditioning alternatives. Competition fuels her soul.

Personal: Operates her own Netflix business out of her apartment for her coach Hilary. Her top picks are How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Rudy, and Old School. Her favorite movie line is "Remember kid, there's heroes and there's legends. Heroes get remembered but legends never die, follow your heart kid, and you'll never go wrong." (The Sandlot). She loves anything with chocolate chips and believes chocolate chips should be added to everything, even Trader Joe's stand alone pumpkin bread. You can find her baking while listening to Dave Matthew's Band or Jack Johnson.

Future Ambitions: As an exercise sport science major at USF she would like to coach at the college level, hopefully dodge ball or inner tube water polo.
