Senior Spotlight: Saucon Girls Soccer Defender Rachel Moyer

Saucon Valley senior Rachel Moyer played intramural soccer while in middle school, was active with the Saucon travel team for eight years and played two years for Lehigh Valley United. Rachel made the varsity team as a ninth grader and has been a starter since her sophomore year. 

Her career highlights include: 2010 District XI runner up, 2011 Colonial League runner up, earning her 4-year varsity letter, 2012 Colonial League Championship and 2012 District XI Championship. Losing in the 2010 Colonial league title game was her greatest disappointment. Rachel's favorite player is Abby Wambach.

Head Coach Stevie Ochse had the following to say about Moyer:

"We have relied on the senior leadership Rachel has provided all season. She has led by example with her great play and also by vocally directing our defensive line. One of the most coachable, down to earth kids I've had the pleasure to instruct, Rachel has exceeded my expectations since I first meet her as a freshman. Next year, the team is going to miss her abilities on the soccer field but mostly I will miss the genuine person Rachel has and will continue to be."

History is her favorite subject and her future plan includes college, where she might continue playing soccer. She serves as a referee for the intramural games, enjoys being with friends, and likes both pizza and ice cream.

Rachel has a younger sister, Abby, and is the daughter of Louis and Sheri Moyer.
