Former Chestnut Hill College Women's Soccer standout Lauren Riiff Larkin has been elected to the Central Atlantic Collegiate conference Hall of Fame Class of 2025 in an announcement made today by CACC Commissioner Dan Mara.

Riiff Larkin joins three other standout athletes/coaches/administrators in this year's Hall of Fame class.   This year's class consists of Riiff Larkin; Kelly Killion, women's basketball student-athlete from Holy Family University;  Jerry Vasto, baseball student-athlete from Felician University; and Sheila Wooten; student-athlete, coach and administrator at Bloomfield College.

"Lauren was one of the best athletes to ever wear a Chestnut Hill College uniform - in any sport. Her combination of skill, technique, and competitiveness put Chestnut Hill College Women's Soccer on the map, "said Chestnut Hill College Director of Athletics Jesse Balcer. "Aside from being an amazing soccer play, Lauren Riiff Larkin is a tremendous human being who led her team both on and off the field with a great disposition and willingness to sacrifice her personal accomplishments for team goals. I truly appreciate Lauren's contributions to the CHC Athletic Program."

"The 2025 Hall of Fame class features three of the greatest female student-athletes in CACC history as well as the conference's first player to reach Major League Baseball," Mara said. "In addition to her outstanding athletic achievements, Sheila Wooten helped shape the CACC during her distinguished career as an athletics administrator. It is very fitting that we honor this quartet for its incredible contributions to the conference."
