On Monday, November 13, 2023, two of the Devil’s Advocate’s own reporters, LHS Seniors Nicole Kelly and Ava Troest, signed with their respective colleges to play Division 2 soccer.
In the fall, Nicole will be a Yellow Jacket, enrolled at American International College, and Ava will be attending Franklin Pierce University, representing the Ravens.
The girls have both played soccer since they were young, and are excited to continue their academic and athletic careers.
When asked who Nicole’s biggest inspiration was, she answered that her mother is her, “biggest supporter and has done everything for me for me.”
She has wanted to play in college for her whole life and is “very excited for next year,” said Nicole.
Ava said, “I’m really excited to get to compete at the college level.”
Ava has wanted to play in college since she was young and has dreamt about playing, “even after college, professionally”.
