“Congratulations to Lesley Lyon! She will be continuing her academic and soccer career at Richland College. We are proud of you, Les,” her former program tweeted.

Richland College landed a player who has all-district first-team honors under her belt.

Lyon made the 11-6A All-District First Team as a junior in 2020.

She was also a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletics Soccer All-Star Blue Team for girls soccer, the Tyler Morning Telegraph reported.
