Melinda Lukas '13 Recruiting Profile

I am a 5'3" Junior and I will graduate in the class of 2013. I am currently taking all honors and AP (Advanced Placement Class) and I have a GPA of 4.09 weighted. I am primarily a forward, but I can also play offensive center mid and outside midfield (left or right). I was on the 2007 ODP State Team and I have made it to the ODP Super Center every year from 2008-2011. I have been invited twice to try-out for the US National Team 93'94' group in 2010 and 2011. I am currently the Captain of my varsity HS team.  I have been playing soccer since I was 4 years old and I really enjoy it. There are a couple reasons why I love soccer! First, I just really enjoy playing the game. I also like the competition and playing against good players. I would like to continue playing at a high level of competition and continue to get better as a player. Ideally, I would like to go to a school where I will get a lot of playing time, but at the same time I'd like to go to a school that plays at a very competitive level.

On December 10, 2011 I committed to GSU Eagles, Georgia Southern University is a D1 soccer program. I'm am really excited that my hard work has paid off!!
