Megan Melugin Commits to Southwest Baptist Bearcats

The Bearcats have added a fourth local recruit with last weeks signing by Kickapoo Chiefs midfield Megan Melugin. She joins Springfield SC teammate, goalkeeper Paige Hemphill (Ozark) along with Haden and Marcotte. Megan, like her brother Heath who plays for the Missouri State Bears, has a solid focus on her education and plans to enroll in the Physical Therapy program offered at SBU while continuing her career with the Division 2 MIAA squad based in Bolivar.

A 2nd Team Ozark Conference pick last year, she will be the Chiefs most experienced midfielder where she’ll be likely partner with Marin Gelsheimer and Katie Lynn. While not a prolific goal scorer, she can be dangerous as when she scored all 3 goals in a late season win over Camdenton. More details will have to follow since the Kickapoo Chiefs website seems to have erased all of the previous girls statistics.

I had a chance to chat with Megan following the Springfield SC annual Banquet, the day she signed officially.
