CORLAND OH – As the clock winds down on her senior year, Lorelai Lowe, a standout player on the Lakeview Girls Soccer team, took a moment to share her experiences and emotions in a recent episode of the YSN podcast. In a heartfelt conversation, she delved into the highs and lows of her final season, the special bond she shares with her freshman sister, and the unique journey that has shaped her soccer career.
Lorelai’s soccer story began in North Carolina at the age of four, a passion ignited by her mother and fueled by the sport’s popularity in the region.

Her time at Lakeview has been marked by numerous achievements, including being the top scorer on her team and earning Second Team All-District honors in both her sophomore and junior years. Beyond individual accolades, Lorelai emphasized the importance of leadership and the strong connections formed with her teammates. Moving to Ohio in her sophomore year, she credits the soccer team for helping her find a sense of belonging. “Making that relationship with people on the team is super special,” Lorelai noted. As she looks ahead to her future at Kent State University, where she plans to study political science and play club soccer, Lorelai’s ambitions extend beyond the field. Inspired by her father and former coaches, she hopes to pursue a career in law.
“I’ve always enjoyed the idea of being a lawyer,” Lorelai shared, adding that her interest in politics has been a lifelong passion.
Through the ups and downs, Lorelai’s family remains her steadfast support system. She especially credits her mom for providing invaluable advice and guidance. “Probably not to worry what other people say or think about you,” Lorelai recalled her mother’s wisdom, highlighting the importance of self-confidence and perseverance.
As the soccer season progresses, Lorelai’s sights are set on making the most of her final high school moments, both academically and athletically. And while she dreams of a future that might take her back to the beaches of North Carolina, her time at Lakeview and the friendships she’s forged here will always hold a special place in her heart.
