Jessica Gengler '20 Recruiting Profile

Soccer isn’t just something I do. I live and breathe Soccer. I am a very dedicated player and always put out my best to help the team get the win. I am always looking for new things to work on and for new things to learn. I am always looking for a challenge and to push myself as hard as I can. I play on the NPL EMSC Smithtown Stars ‘02 team, which has won their bracket in  several major tournaments such as CASL and Bethesda Cup in 2017. I am also a member of the New York South ODP soccer team for the 2018 season.  For my high school varsity soccer team, I was a starting varsity junior captain, and was on of the top goal scorers for my team. I also won All-Division this past season, and am attending another awards ceremony in December for my high school.  Academically I push myself as well. In high school I am in all honors and AP classes. I challenge myself to balance a vigorous academic schedule with my competitive soccer career. I am different from other recruits in the respect that my dedication and love for the game, has taught me that whether I am in the classroom or on the field, I have to work as hard as I can to make an impact.  And that being apart of a team that works hard and works together, can achieve great things.
