Lucas has coaches taking notice

Mallory Lucas got it done on and off the field during her time at the Dexter Southfield School. 

And for her work, Lucas has received high recognition. 

The Whitman native was named to the United Soccer Coaches High School Scholar All-American Team. 

Lucas was one of 72 girls from across the country to receive this honor, with only three from Massachusetts. 

In the classroom, she was the Class of 2022 valedictorian, an AP Scholar with Distinction and PSAT National Merit Commended Scholar. 

On the pitch, the midfielder wrapped up her career as Dexter Southfield’s all-time leading goal scorer. She found the back of the net 75 times to go with 33 assists. The four-time team MVP was an All-State selection twice and All-New England selection as a senior. 

Lucas is set to gear up for the Ivy League institution of the University of Pennsylvania this fall. She will major in biology and minor in cognitive science, on a pre-med track.
