Laura Dembofsky, who was a key part of Stamford High School’s back-to-back state championship field hockey teams, decided she will continue her career next year at Southern Connecticut State University.
Dembofsky said she made the decision this week after visiting Plymouth State, which along with Manhattanville and Eastern Connecticut were her final choices.
“I just liked Southern more,” Dembofsky said. “I liked the school, I liked the coach and my parents will be able to catch my games. That was a big factor.”
Dembofsky finished with 18 goals, including the game-winner in the state final, her junior year, then moved to center midfield last season, when she had an outstanding state tournament as the Black Knights played Simsbury to a 1-1 draw in the title game.
