⚽️🎓 SENIOR NIGHT 2026 🎓⚽️
Last night, September 10th, we had the honor of celebrating our six seniors as they were recognized on Senior Night During the game vs Lakeview.

Ava • Bri • Gracie • K • Maddie • Tay

These young women have given their time, talent, dedication, and countless memories to Niles Women’s Soccer. Their impact on this program goes far beyond the field, and we are incredibly proud of each of them.

Senior Night was lovingly put together by our Senior Moms, in conjunction with the Niles Girls Soccer Boosters, to celebrate these girls and the journey they have shared with their teammates, coaches, families, and supporters.

To our seniors — thank you for representing the Lady Dragons with pride and for being an important part of this program. We hope you always look back on your time wearing the Niles jersey with the same pride we have in watching you wear it.

❤️⚽️ Congratulations, Seniors!
Once a Lady Dragon, always a Lady Dragon. 🐉

⚽️💚💛 What a special day in Pittsburgh! 💚💛⚽️

We made the trip to watch Cali Rodgers make her collegiate soccer debut with the Point Park Pioneers! ⚽️💚💛

It’s pretty special to sit back and think about how far Cali has come. I’ve been fortunate to be part of her journey, coaching her during her travel soccer days and later being one of her coaches at the high school level. It’s been awesome watching her grow, mature, and become the player she is today.

Along the way, she’s had so many coaches, teammates, and experiences that have helped shape her journey. Getting to watch her take the field at the collegiate level was a very proud moment and a reminder of just how much work goes into reaching this point.

Congratulations, Cali! Your college soccer journey is officially underway, and we couldn’t be happier for you. Keep working, keep believing, and enjoy every minute of this next chapter. The best is yet to come! 👏⚽️💚💛

Proud of you, Cali! 💚💛

- Coach Merlo
