FZN Senior Emily Piel recently signed a “Letter of Intent” to play soccer at Missouri S & T University located in Rolla, Missouri. Piel has been a stand-out on both the pitch and in the classroom during her time at Fort Zumwalt North. An accomplished club player, Piel earned 2nd team “All-Conference” status for the Panthers in the spring of 2019. The Panthers 2020 season was cancelled due to COVID 19. Prior to her time at North High, Piel was a member of the P.A.L. soccer club that won the prestigious state cup championship in 2016 while finishing as the runner-up in 2017. While in high school, Piel has competed as a member of the Lou Fusz soccer club. She was selected to participate in the regional pool (16/17 year olds) portion of the Olympic Development Program.

At Missouri S & T, Piel plans to major in aerospace engineering. The Miners are an NCAA Division 2 institution that competes in athletics as a member of the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC).
