FORT WAYNE, Ind. -- Concordia Lutheran High School senior Sara Thieme signed a letter-of-intent Monday to attend the University of Saint Francis where she will continue her academic and athletic careers as a member of head coach Ken Nuber's Lady Cougar soccer program.

"Sara is a great kid from a great family that will be a valuable part of our success during her career here at USF," Nuber said. "She is a proven goal scorer that also can play in some other roles, but I expect her to play up front with us. She still has a lot to look forward to during her high school career, but we are excited about this decision and adding her to the team."

Thieme is Concordia's all-time leading scorer and earned All-Summit Athletic Conference honors in each of her first three seasons. She had 52 career goals and 25 assists entering her senior year and garnered Team MVP honors following her sophomore and junior campaigns. Primarily a forward, Thieme also is a capable goalkeeper, drawing spot starts between the posts for both her high school and club sides.

In addition to her soccer exploits for the Cadets, she is a four-year varsity starter for the CLHS basketball team as its point guard. She plays her club soccer with Fort Wayne Citadel FC and is a team captain.
