Grace Pleinis is a defender from Tampa, Florida where she attended H.B. Plant High School. During her high school career, she was named the MVP in her freshman year, received the Military Child of the Year award, and was a district qualifier for the long jump in track. Pleinis was apart of Phi Theta Kappa (Psychology Honor Society), was an academic scholar award recipient, a National Congressional Award winner, a member of the National Honor Society, and part of the top ten percent of her graduating class.
Pleinis chose PBA because she was “looking for a community that values God above everything, academics, interpersonal relationships, and has an excellent soccer program. I’m so happy to play for PBA women’s soccer in the fall because it is a high-quality program that encompasses a strong and compassionate community. By going to PBA I hope to improve myself as a person and soccer player, but also deepen my relationship with God and build lifelong friends! ”
