Moore School sophomore, Blakely Mattern, was recently named to the pre-season All-Southeastern Conference Soccer Team. She was featured in “Sportsbriefs” in The Daily Gamecock, the student newspaper at the University of South Carolina.
The column went on to say: "Mattern, one of the team's defenders, was named a Freshman All-American by Soccer Buzz. Mattern, who came to USC after turning down offers to play at Florida and West Virginia, was an SEC Freshman Academic Honor Roll member. She scored two game-winning goals last season against Furman and Mississippi State in a season in which the Gamecocks went 11-6-5 and reached the SEC Tournament."
