Sports Spotlight: Spencer George `04

Most notably, his brothers Sam and Seth played for soccer powerhouse UCLA, both garnering first-team All-American status. Sam captained the 1990 NCAA championship team and Seth was the MVP of the 1998 championship game. Both are currently playing in Major League Soccer.

George, a California native, nearly went the route of his brothers to UCLA but ultimately decided on Harvard for its academics and the potential of playing for a renowned coach.

"Coach Kerr was such a nice guy and his reputation preceded him," George said. "And I figured [coming to Harvard] was the opportunity of a lifetime."

Unfortunately, the Clark Kent-Superman analogy isn't entirely accurate for young Spencer George. When asked about the existence of a "Lois Lane" in his life, George grinned.

"With soccer and school, I've been overwhelmed with everything," George said. "Let's just say I'm not 'aggressively pursuing' that right now."

Leaving the scoring for the soccer field for the time being, George is currently second on the team in points with five and is tied with Kelly for the most goals scored with two.

George's prolific production has impressed, among others, the captain and battle-tested veteran of the team, Kelly.
