Larmour’s collegiate tenure was marked by 86 appearances, 17 goals and 18 assists, placing her among the top‑15 playmakers in Rutgers history.
Legacy at Rutgers
She earned the 2022 Headley‑Singer Award, was a two‑time First‑Team All‑American, and served as team captain during her senior year, leading the Scarlet Knights to a Big Ten Tournament championship.
Beyond statistics, Larmour’s leadership was evident in her four‑year run as a First‑Team All‑Big Ten selection and her multiple Werblin Award recognitions, underscoring her impact on the program.
As the World Cup approaches, the midfielder brings a blend of experience and youthful vigor, poised to contribute both defensively and offensively for Ireland.
