Remi Schwartz is a sophomore at Cary Academy plays for CASL’s ECNL U-17 team. Remi will join Athletic Lab athlete Abby Staker as defenders for the Blue Devils. She was the only NC player selected to participate in a recent National ODP camp in Florida. Izzy is also a sophomore and plays for Cardinal Gibbons High School. She is a teammate on Remi’s ECNL CASL team. Izzy will join her sister Zoey (another Athletic Lab athlete) who committed to play for the ECU soccer team last year.
