Elite athletes run in this family. Mia’s two older sisters both went on to play Division 1 soccer, and she’s right on their heels. Mia is an attacking player! Blink, and you’ll miss this rising star. She is so explosive on and off the ball that it makes her one of the most challenging players to mark on the pitch. Mia recently tied her sister’s school record of “Most Goals Scored In One Game” and she will likely go on to break various school records over the next three years.

Mix that with her speed, footwork, and well-timed runs, and you're looking at a player who's primed to make a big splash. Scouts search for players who are natural in front of the goal and don't need to look up at the target to know where it is before getting a shot off; Katie represents.

The sky’s the limit for number 33.
