Scott Gordon '11 graduated with a Master in Business Administration degree.  He was a two-year letter-winner with the Fighting Knights men’s soccer team from 2009 to 2010 before being drafted by Dallas FC in the MLS Super draft. The Boca Raton, Fla., native anchored the Lynn defense while earning All-Sunshine State Conference accolades in both seasons with the Blue & White. Gordon has played professionally with Dallas FC, Chivas and the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers.

 

What has soccer taught you that you have been able to apply in everyday life?
To play at a high level you must be very disciplined, hardworking and dedicated to the craft. All of these are qualities that carry over into real life and have helped mold me into a better person.

 

What was your Lynn soccer experience like?
Playing at Lynn was one of the best experiences of my life, both on and off the field. I had an opportunity to play a very high level of soccer in front of a lot of family and friends. I matured as a player and a person and developed my game to a level that allowed me to pursue a career after college.

 

What was your most memorable moment at Lynn?
For my first full season at Lynn (fall 2009) we started 10-0 and secured the #1 ranking in the country. Being the captain of a team that achieved that goal was truly a special feeling.

 

What advice would you give to incoming freshman at Lynn?
As good of a time as you can have just by being at Lynn and in South Florida, it is that much better when you are part of a very successful team. Your time off and the offseason becomes that much better and you get to share it with a good group of guys. So, put the work in first and then great experiences will follow.
