PIKEVILLE, Ky. – A native of the Columbus, Ohio, area will play soccer at the University of Pikeville next season.
 
Katelyn McFarlane, a senior at Christian High School in Grove City, will play soccer and pursue her college degree after signing a scholarship with UPIKE.
 
“Katelyn is not only a standout on the soccer field but also is an outstanding student,” said Bears' Coach Gary Warford. “She has the height and abilities as a left-footed defender to come in and make an immediate impact on this program.
 
“Playing for a quality high school program as well as club, she will come in as a freshman with a very high soccer IQ.”
 
McFarlane was a three-year letter winner at Grove City Christian and was the team's co-captain last year. She has been selected to play for AIST's Elite U21 team that will represent the US in the 2012 United World Games in Munich.
 
She is currently on the Blast U18 team and last year played for the Phoenix Crew Juniors U17 team.
 
She plans to be a pre-medicine major at Pikeville. She is a member of the National Honor Society and the National Society of High School Scholars.
