Tegan Dungey '26 Recruiting Profile

I knew the sport would shape my life from the moment I kicked my first soccer ball at age four. Over the years, soccer has become more than just a game for me—it’s a passion that drives me to push my limits both on and off the field. As I prepare to take the next step in my athletic journey, I am excited about the opportunity to play at the collegiate level, where I can continue to grow as a player, a teammate, and a person.

Throughout my high school career, I’ve had the privilege of playing on both my school’s varsity team and a competitive club team during my Sophomore summer. As a forward, I’ve always prided myself on my speed, agility, and ability to read the game. I’ve learned to adapt my playing style to different team dynamics, allowing me to contribute to both teams effectively. 

One of the key lessons soccer has taught me is the importance of hard work and resilience. I’m not afraid to put in the extra hours on the field to improve my fitness, technical skills, or mental toughness. During my off-season, I participate in cross country and basketball at my school. I believe it is very important to stay active through different sports. I also believe in the importance of teamwork, and I consistently push myself to be a leader on and off the field, whether that means motivating teammates during tough games or supporting them through setbacks.

In addition to my athletic pursuits, I am dedicated to my academics. Maintaining a high GPA has always been a priority for me, as I believe in being a well-rounded individual. I’m particularly interested in pursuing a degree in biology or nursing and am excited about the opportunity to challenge myself both on the field and in the classroom. Time management has been crucial in balancing my academic, school club, and athletic commitments, and I am confident in my ability to continue this balance in college.
