CHELSEA LLOYD MEMORIAL CLASSIC
The Chelsea Lloyd Memorial Classic is held in honor of Aurora University graduate and four-year Spartan Chelsea Lloyd who tragically lost her life in 2011. She is missed by all that had the honor of meeting her.
Chelsea was an amazing person who dedicated her life to being a first-rate teacher and coach. The soccer tournament held in her memory each year provides current students to keep her spirit alive.
