It was not always apparent, though, that Luzak would find a future on the soccer field. Like many athletes, he played other sports in high school.

Growing up in Media, Pennslyvania, Luzak began playing soccer at the age of seven. But he was also interested in baseball and track.

Fortunately for Harvard, Luzak opted for kicking rather than hitting.

"Freshman year in high school, soccer began to be a large part of my life," Luzak said. "That year, I made a regional team, and by my senior year I was trying out for the under-18 national team. At that point, I knew I would play in the future."

And so he came to Harvard set on improving his game. At times, he wasn't so sure that Harvard was the best choice for his soccer career. But now he has a shot at a pro career, and everything seems to have fallen in place.

"In terms of everything, I would not trade in my stay at Harvard for anything," Luzak said. "The people I've met, and the places I've been have left me with memories that will last a lifetime."

And in return, Luzak has provided many fond memories for those who had the pleasure to watch him play on the soccer fields.
