Lauren attended Iowa Lakes Community College from 2007-2009. Lauren is originally from New Ulm, Minnesota, where she graduated from New Ulm High School. Her graduating class was around 200 people. Lauren immediately fell in love with the great softball program on her visit. That, combined with the opportunity to play for Coach Bosch, made the decision to attend Iowa Lakes an easy one for her.

White attending Iowa Lakes, Lauren found great success on the field. As a pitcher, she was awarded Region XI All-Conference Honorable Mention in both her freshman and sophomore seasons. During her freshman season, she helped lead her team to an NJCAA National Tournament. She did this by positing a 2.66 ERA in 139 innings pitched. She recorded 19 wins and struck out 53 batters.

One of Lauren's fondest memories was winning the Region XI Tournament her sophomore year and playing at the NJCAA National Tournament.
