Devon Lapenias -- Defender -- Modesto, Calif.

Devon is an athletic outside defender from Central Catholic High School in Modesto. In the spring of 2008 she led the Raiders to the CIF Section Finals. She was also a member of the Central Catholic High School baskeball team. Devon plays her club soccer for the Manteca Rangers and coach Vince Meyer. She will be joining Central Catholic and Manteca Rangers teammate Nichole Meyer at Cal State Stanislaus.

"Devon is a pure athlete. She does well in every sport she plays and she has played them all. She has good speed and she is very quick. Devon is also an extremely competitive individual. Her ability to play both on the right and the left side of the defense makes her very unique. I have no doubt that once she is in the college environment and able to concentrate on soccer she is going to thrive."
