Lions Soccer Sending Three to College

The soccer program keeps churning out college-bound athletes. 

Three more East soccer players—two members of the girls squad and one from the boys team—recently signed a National Letters of Intent to continue their soccer careers at the collegiate level. 

Boys soccer player Cody Elmendorf will spend next season on the pitch for Central Methodist University (MO). Elmendorf had three goals and three assists during his senior season for the Lions. During his junior campaign, Elmendorf scored 13 goals for Zumwalt East. 

Brianna Andert will head into her final season knowing her soccer career will continue. Andert will suit up for the Div. II Quincy University (IL). As a junior, Andert chipped in two assists for the Lions. 

East's Jessica Mincher will be staying a little closer to home. The senior-to-be will join the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Mincher had six goals (including one game winner) and seven assists for the Lions as a junior. 

The Zumwalt East girls soccer season opens up March 19 at the Warrenton Tournament.
