Cal State Fullerton women's soccer player Lauren Turner died on Friday, Nov. 7.

The school announced Turner's death on Monday, Nov. 10, after a nearly six-week stay in intensive care at a hospital following a tragic off-campus traffic collision.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with her parents, Christopher and Christine, her sisters Nicolette and Victoria, her teammates, coaches, staff members, friends and all who were fortunate to know her," the school said in a statement.

Turner, a sophomore, last appeared in a game for the Titans on Sept. 25 against UC Riverside.

A GoFundMe set up for Turner's family details the Sept. 27 accident Turner was involved in:

"On September 27, my beloved sister Lauren was struck by a box truck while riding her scooter. She is now in the ICU in critical condition, battling severe head trauma."

Turner, a native of Tustin, California, appeared in 10 games this season and made eight starts. She played the full 90 minutes in the Titans' 1-0 win over Pittsburgh on Aug. 28, which marked the program's second-ever win over an ACC opponent.

She appeared in all 20 games as a freshman, which included four starts. Her first career collegiate goal came at home against UC Riverside on Oct. 3, 2024.

The Cal State Fullerton women's soccer team will hold a candlelight vigil in honor of Turner on Wednesday, Nov. 12, at 5:30 p.m. PT on the field at Titan Stadium.

"Lauren was the funniest, most charismatic, and loving teammate you could ever ask for," a statement from the 2025 Titans soccer team read. "She was the first to celebrate other people's wins. She is the true definition of an amazing person. She always carried herself with compassion, kindness, and happiness. The impact she made on the Titans women's soccer program is immeasurable. She will be dearly missed by everyone but forever remembered by her Titan family. We love you, Lauren, our No. 5 Forever."
