ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT:

May 15, 2012

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. -- Gianna Loza is a crucial utillity player that has served the Lady Mustang's Soccer program  in the midfielder positon over the last 3 years. With notable dedication to the Lady Mustangs soccer program both on and off the field, Gianna has been selected to receive The Master's College Athletic Department's "Athlete Spotlight." (The following are a few questions Gianna answered in a brief interview.)


Gianna Loza:

  • Uniform: #2
  • Position: Midfielder
  • Height: 5-5
  • Year: Senior
  • Hometown: Corona, Calif.

  • TMC: What has impacted you the most about being a player on this TMC program?

    Gianna: There are so many things that have impacted me being on this team. But what has impacted me the most? It could be the coaching staff that genuinely cares for each one of their players, or the road trips where the best and craziest memories are made, or the devotional time you get to hear about how the Lord is working in your teammates’ lives.  I would have to say that the friendships that you develop in the program that are Christ centered has impacted me the most. I have developed solid friendships that are Christ motivated and purposeful. These are life-long friendships that are rare to find in which I am so grateful for.

     

    TMC: What are your plans when you graduate?

    Gianna: After I receive my teaching credentials I would love to teach overseas. If it is in the Lord’s plan I would love to do this for a few years, both teaching and sharing the gospel. I have no preference in my location or program I would do it through but this is definitely an opportunity I would love to have to serve the Lord.

     

    TMC: What are your summer plans?

    Gianna: I get to be home for the summer! Though I will be both working and taking summer classes I know I will always make some time for some beach trips to Laguna and Huntington with family and friends. This summer Danni (teammate) and I have planned a week in July to go somewhere with a few friends, we haven’t quite decided where just yet but that’s just the best part of the adventure!

     

    TMC: What do you want your legacy to be as you graduate this year?

    Gianna: I can’t quite pinpoint exactly what I would want my legacy to be but I do know I want it to be something looked back upon that is both encouraging and motivating for the current and upcoming members of the team. Not only would I want my legacy to be based on a young woman competitively playing for the Lord and her teammates but also a bold, and brave believer who genuinely loved and cared for her teammates.
