Louisiana Tech announced the addition of Alethea Levy, a midfielder/center back from Wagga Wagga, Australia, to its 2026 signing class. Coach Matt Lodge highlighted the player's readiness to contribute immediately to the Bulldogs' defensive and midfield options.
Levy grew up in Canberra before moving to Sydney, where she completed her secondary education at Pymble Ladies' College. The daughter of Kylie Thomas and Cole Levy, she balanced academic pursuits with a distinguished athletic career that spanned soccer, futsal, water polo, cross country, and swimming.
During her final year at Pymble, Levy was a key contributor to the Gladesville Ravens' U23 Senior Squad, helping the team secure six championships and six runner‑up finishes. Her leadership roles included team captain, house captain, spirit captain, and membership on the Boarding Representative Council.
A championship‑laden high school career
In the 2025 season she started every one of the 28 matches, registering four goals and nine assists while anchoring a defense that consistently limited opponents. Those statistics reflect a player who combines offensive flair with defensive reliability.
Beyond soccer, Levy's versatility shone in other arenas. She represented her school in futsal and water polo, competed in cross country and swimming, and earned a reputation for athletic endurance and tactical intelligence across disciplines.
Leadership and community impact
Her leadership extended off the field as well. As a member of the Boarding Representative Council, she advocated for student welfare and helped organize campus initiatives, demonstrating the same collaborative spirit she brings to team environments.
With a blend of technical skill, physical resilience, and proven leadership, Levy is expected to make a swift impact on Louisiana Tech's roster. The program looks forward to integrating her championship experience and multi‑sport background into a culture that values both athletic excellence and personal growth.
