The Indiana Soccer Coaches Association’s Miss Soccer, Lynch was the 2017 United Soccer Coaches National Player of the Year. She concluded her prep soccer career with 130 goals and 68 assists.
Lynch maintained an unweighted 4.16 GPA in the classroom. Taking advantage of NCAA early signing rules, Lynch inked a financial-aid agreement that paved the way for her to enroll at Florida State University. She graduated from high school in January and attended classes this past spring semester.
Lynch has volunteered locally at a center for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and as a youth soccer coach. She has also donated her time to Kingsmen Against Cancer and the Handwritten Hearts Club, writing letters to both hospital and cancer patients.
