Karli Williams '25 Recruiting Profile

I started playing soccer at 3 years of age when a mobile soccer clinic came to my preschool. I have been in love with the game ever since. I have played a lot of soccer along the way and also a bunch of softball and basketball. I pride myself on being a multi-sport athlete. I am able to prioritize my time in athletics and still be a straight A student as well.

On the pitch, I'm a leader.  I see the field well, and understand spacing and where I and my teammates should be. I'm a quick decision maker and know when to carry the ball and when to pass to my open team mate. I can also score, as I led my club team in scoring from the midfield position.

During my freshman and sophomore years at Gretna High School my team and I went 42-0 and achieved the three-peat of winning State. My freshman year I played very regularly and then I worked my way up to a starting position my sophomore year. I was selected for numerous post season awards after my sophomore season. Some of them include Omaha World Herald's All-State 1st Team, All-Omaha-Metro's 1st Team, All-Sarpy-County's 1st Team and Lincoln Journal Star's Super-State 1st Team. Gretna High School girls soccer was also ranked #2 in the country by United Soccer Coaches in 2023 and we were #4 in 2022. I had a very succesfull two seasons as a dragon at GHS. Next year in the fall I will be attending the new Gretna East High School and will be playing soccer now as a griffin.
