MECHANICSBURG, Pa. – Eagle FC Women are thrilled to welcome back MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalist and American Athletic Conference Defender of the Year Finley Lavin for the 2026 USL W League season.
A defensive anchor for Eagle FC, Lavin returns with championship experience and elite leadership, continuing to set the standard at the heart of the club’s back-line as Eagle FC looks to secure its fourth consecutive Mid-Atlantic Division title.
Lavin has enjoyed a decorated collegiate career at the University of Memphis, where she serves as a team captain and helped lead the Tigers to a standout 17-1-3 season. Across her career, she has appeared in 48 matches (45 starts), logging over 4,000 minutes while anchoring one of the nation’s top defensive units.
Collegiate Career Honors – University of Memphis:
On the field in 2025, Lavin captained the Tigers, starting all 21 matches, logging 1,805 minutes, and anchoring a defense that allowed just six goals in the regular season while posting 14 shutouts, tied for fourth-most in the nation and second in school history. She also converted a penalty in a key 1-0 win at Tulsa.
Lavin’s return to Eagle FC Women adds proven collegiate excellence, national-level recognition, and championship pedigree — a perfect complement to the club’s ongoing ambitions in the USL W League.
Welcome back Finley, pending USL W League and federation approval.
