Alexander Allende Signs NLI with UNCP Men’s Soccer Team

Pembroke, NC (March 20, 2006) -– UNC Pembroke men’s soccer coach Mike Schaeffer (pictured) announced that Alexander Allende of Lake Region High School in Eagle Lake, FL, has signed a National Letter-of-Intent to play soccer for the Braves.

“Alex is a skillful player with good speed,” Schaeffer stated. “He plays a simple style rather than being flashy and is able to play with more physical players even though he is only 5’9”. I see him competing for playing time immediately with a quick transition to the college game.”

Allende, who will major in business as a freshman in the fall of 2006, was an All-State selection twice and was a three-time All-County player. He was also voted team captain during his junior and senior, while also being named Lake Region High’s Most Valuable Player as a senior.

As a member of the Lakeland Lazers Soccer Club, Allende, whose brother-in-law played baseball at the University of Central Florida, was picked by his teammates as the club’s team captain.

Allende joins Davis Stephenson as members of the Braves’ 2006 recruiting class.
