Clarksville, TN – Lady Wildcat senior soccer player Amber Colvin signed her intent to play with the Mississippi College Lady Choctaws in Clinton, Mississippi on National Signing Day at Clarksville High School.
Colvin was one of three Clarksville High seniors signing their commitment to college programs on National Signing Day at Clarksville High School. She was the only soccer player.
Colvin played under current Clarksville High soccer head coach Jeff Jordan for 2 years and scored over 60 goals. She was part of the Lady Wildcat teams that won back-to-back District 10-AAA Titles as well as back-to-back Region 5-AAA titles.
At the next level, Colvin will join a Lady Choctaw team who went 13-6-1 last season and advanced to the NCCAA Mid East Regional Tournament.
The Lady Choctaw’s soccer head coach is Darryl Longabaugh. He has coached at Mississippi College for 17 years and recorded his 200th win last season.
Already wearing Mississippi College gear, Colvin tearfully thanked her parents and various supporters, then signed her name. Afterwards, she was all smiles and ready to look ahead.
“It has definitely been a stressful process,“ Colvin said. “But now that it is over and I am officially signed, I am ready to start the next chapter of my soccer career.”
“I am just looking forward to getting to play the game that I love. That is really all that I could have hoped for.”
