Lillyanna Ash '23 Recruiting Profile

I am a 5’3 defensive player from Houston, Texas. My goal is to play soccer in college while I earn a degree in Electrical Engineering and a minor in Physics.   I love math and science and want to pursue them in the future as a career.

  I have been playing soccer for 11 years and fell in love with the sport immediately.  I have played center back for 8 years on my DA and GA2 club teams.  Although I may be on the shorter side, I am fiercely aggressive and head the ball well. I also have extensive experience playing outside back and holding midfield.  I am naturally right footed but play very well with my left foot. I was the starting  left back for the Taylor High School (6A) varsity team my freshman and sophomore year.  I moved schools my junior year and am a starter at Morton Ranch High School (6A). I am currently playing center back and holding midfield for my school and club teams.

 My dad has a company, Germany Youth Tours. I have played with the teams for several years and really admire their style of play.  While in Germany, I noticed how the country values renewable energy.  This inspired me to research electrical engineering,  which I have discovered is something that I would like to pursue as a career.

  I am a very dynamic, aggressive player and I try to lead my team to success with encouragement.  I am a driven athlete.  I value input and believe that being coachable is necessary for the success of the team.  I set myself to a higher standard so that  I can continue to improve.  I believe that everything we do on the field translates into becoming a successful adult and employee in the future.

My ideal athletic environment would be one where I could make an immediate impact on the team.
