The GGCL traditionally produces many star soccer players, and this year the conference returns an all-star player in Seton senior striker McKenzie "Kenzie" Carle, who helped lead the Saints to the program's first-ever regional title and first-ever Ohio state championship last season, finishing with a 20-3-1 overall record. In the state championship game, a 1-0 win vs. Strongsville, Kenzie had the winning assist on the only goal of the game.

Kenzie is the reigning scoring leader in the league. Last season, she was the GGCL co-leader in goals (14) and points (40) and was second in assists (12). She was named first-team all-GGCL, first-team all-city (Enquirer) and honorable mention all-Ohio.

Kenzie got off to a good start last season. She scored a three-goal hat trick in the 9-2 season-opening win vs. Fairfield. She then scored two goals in a 6-0 win over Ursuline. She scored two goals and had an assist in the Saints' 4-0 win over St. Ursula, and she had a goal and an assist in a 2-0 win vs. East Central. She also scored one goal in a 4-3 win over Oak Hills. She started strong this season, too, in a 5-0 Seton win over Anderson, Kenzie scored a goal and had an assist.

A great student, she also plays soccer for the Kings Hammer Academy club team. Her favorite athlete is Carli Lloyd, favorite entertainer is Justin Bieber, favorite book is Twilight, favorite movie is The Shining and most-like-to-meet is Mia Hamm. Kenzie will play soccer at the next level, having committed to Bellarmine University.
