Layna Cardella '25 Recruiting Profile

Hi, my name is Layna Cardella. I’m currently a junior at Marcellus high school (MI). I started playing soccer at about 4 years old. I started in my back yard with my dad and got on my first team at around 6. I fell in love with soccer and have never wanted to take a break since then. I have played on varsity since my freshman year and received my varsity letter that year for soccer as well. Last year as a sophomore I received a captain spot and I ended up first team all conference as a middle defender. I started the season as a attacking midfielder but we were struggling on defense on out team so I talked to my coach and moved back to defensive and I believe it was a very good decision made. I also participate Powerlifting at school, I am 120lbs and i squat rep of 210lbs, I bench a rep of 140, and deadlift a rep of 180lbs.
