Harrisburg Christian’s 100-goal scorer
Harrisburg Christian’s Rebecca Smith has quietly put together a standout season. Smith has scored 111 career goals, and she’s only a junior. Knights’ coach Jon Bassoff said Smith is on track to finish her high school soccer career as one of the all-time top-5 scorers in the state of Pennsylvania.

Smith has attracted attention from several college teams, and is currently deciding between Liberty (Lynchburg, Va.) and Messiah.

Not just in soccer, males think heavily about level, while to a lot of female recruits its a non-factor.

It's a factor financially for females as much as males. At D3 Messiah she would not have a scholarship. That can be deceiving however, since she could live at home, and depending on how much financial aid she can get (D3 schools can be VERY creative with this for a good athlete) , traveling to see her play in Lynchburg could end up costing her family more than what they would pay for tuition there.

Excellent point, which further shows why its not the no-brainer that it seems to be. If they find its cheaper for the family financially, and closer, playing in D-I won't necessarily be a factor. Plus, the opportunity to win a national championship - at any level - is enticing. Messiah's staff is well-aware of all of this, I'm certain.
