While at Medford, Laws led the Mustangs to a program-record for wins in a season and to the program's first-ever state tournament appearance.
As a player, Laws was a standout goalie at the Yale University, earning All-Ivy League honors in 2003. Laws' team was ranked 8th nationally and won an Ivy League Championship in 2003. She also led the program to the quarterfinals of the national tournament during the same year. Currently, Laws serves as one of 13 members on the Yale Lacrosse Association Board.
