MacKenzie Mertel '26 Recruiting Profile

I completed my Junior year at Shawnee Heights High School and have played on the varsity team since my freshman year. I have been playing soccer since I was 4 and have been a keeper for over 10 years. I would love to play at the college level because I enjoy the relationships that are developed with my teammates. As a keeper I value being a leader for my team by encouraging, communicating, and being resilient. I have high expectations when it comes to academics, I currently have a 4.0 GPA. I am self-motivated and have a solid work ethic both on and off the field. I am always striving to add new skills and talents to my life and look forward to the challenges collegiate-level athletics will present me.
