SENIOR NIGHT 2017
LENA PRICE-JOHNSON,
Forward, #3
Lena has been a key asset to the Lane Tech Girls' Soccer program for four years. She epitomizes what it means to be a student-athlete. Always giving it her all, Lena motivates the rest of her team to push themselves past their limits. Her incredible academic pursuits and accomplishments inspire her teammates and those around her. She is a silent leader, always leading by example and doing the right thing. Lena's speed on the field is unparalleled, and, combining that with her natural competitiveness and desire to win, she is unstoppable.
Lena is the lone senior and a captain for the Lane Tech Varsity Soccer team. We asked her a few questions about her time with LT Girls' Soccer...
Position: Forward
Years on Varsity: 3
College: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Thoughts on playing at Lane: Playing at Lane has been such a great experience, especially getting to play with so many unique and talented players that all share the same passion and drive for soccer. I also love the positive and humorous attitude that the team always tries to maintain - it makes the long and hard hours that we all dedicate to conditioning and training a thousand times more enjoyable!
Thoughts on her last year: Because it's my last year, I want to make sure that I truly enjoy myself while playing the sport I love. I've had a lot of academic work this year, but I've also been trying to focus on actively participating in not only practice and games, but also in team bonding activities and sleepovers. It's a great team, and I want to make sure that I strengthen my bond with my fellow players, because it's my last year.
Favorite Lane Soccer memory: My favorite memory of my Lane Tech soccer career was my freshman year, in a game against Whitney young heading towards Regionals. I had just been moved up from JV, and the Varsity team had recently lost to Whitney at the city finals in the second round of penalty kicks. We were down 1-0, I had just been put in at forward, and the ball had been passed through their defense. Their goalie had a habit of stepping out too far for the ball, and I ran as fast as I could, just barely touching the ball before she could reach it and cutting it around her. I shot, and I scored. Natalie [Wade, class of 2015] later scored the second goal, and we won that game.
First game with Lane: That was my first game for Varsity Lane soccer, I don't remember my first JV game.
College plans: I'm planning on studying a few different things, possibly combining computer science, urban planning, and international studies. I've always been a STEM-focused person, but I also like studying different societies and ways of life.
On whether she will keep soccer in the picture: I have been reaching out to some college coaches regarding playing soccer, and it is something that I will be trying to do, but my focus for college is academic.
