Anchoring a tough back line for the Seton soccer team this season was
senior center defender Greta Harmeyer, who will be playing next season
for Northern Kentucky University.
Greta's play helped the Saints win this season's GCL South
championship with a regular season overall record of 11-3-3 (7-1-0 in
league play). The Saints also won this season's regional championship
in a 2-1 victory over Mount Notre Dame then lost to Powell Olentangy
Liberty 4-2 in the state semifinals, finishing the season 17-4-3.
Greta was a big part of the back line that pitched 11 shutouts this
season and she was named first-team all-GGCL and all-Southwest Ohio
for her fine play.
Greta had a high school moment to remember during the Saints' state
championship run her junior year when she scored off a pass from
McKenzie Carle to help the Saints to a 2-1 win in double overtime
against a tough Olentangy Orange squad who entered the match with just
one loss on the season. The win sent the Saints to the state title
game vs. Strongville, which the Saints won, shutting out Strongville
1-0, earning the school's first-ever soccer state championship and
sending a large, green-clad student section for the Saints into song,
singing "When the Saints Go Marching In."
Greta also plays for the Cincinnati United club team that won the
state cup championship in 2022.
Greta is an academic star, too. She has earned first honors every
quarter at Seton, and is active in community service. In her spare
time, she enjoys hanging out with family and friends-especially her
dogs -- and boating with her family at her lake.
Her favorite athlete is Julie Ertz, favorite entertainer is Morgan
Wallen, favorite book Is One of Us is Lying, favorite movie is The
Hunger Games and most-like-to-meet are Dansby and Mallory Swanson.
COACH'S QUOTE – "Greta is a great team leader who makes everyone
better! She was the backbone of our defense and really understands the
complexities of playing our high line! She has a very high soccer IQ
and is a student of the game, always asking questions and wanting to
get better! She is a hard worker, who gets to practice early, stays
late, and studies film, always wanting to improve!"
— John Volker, Varsity Soccer Coach
