Highlights: ECNL Playoffs | Fall 2023
Twitter: @Jess11Howard

I am interested in majoring in business/accounting and believe that I am a very good student athlete. Soccer is my #1 sport and always has been, but I also have a third degree black belt in karate and was a sprinter for Living Word Lutheran High School’s varsity track team my freshman year. In addition, I ran middle school track and played middle school basketball and volleyball. I took this past year off of high school track to focus on playing for FC Wisconsin’s ECNL Super Cup team where I was moved to center defender as we needed one for the spring season. While I enjoy being a left back and believe that I am a very good one, I try to be flexible since I know that I may need to move positions to play soccer at the college level. I also enjoy attacking up the field and creating opportunities for my team from the defense.
I am not afraid of tough competition as our team competes in the Midwest Conference of the ECNL, home of the 2021, 2022, and 2023 National Champions at my age group (Kansas City Athletics – 2021, Saint Louis Scott Gallagher – 2022 & 2023.) Every experience competing against a team of that level helps me to become a better defender, attacker, passer, and ball handler.
