Among the many who signed national letters of intent to play sports at the university level is Meagan Speck, formerly a striker for Guam High who on Feb. 1 put her commitment to North Carolina-Charlotte on paper.

She joins the 49ers out of Terry Sanford (N.C. ) High, where she paced the Bulldogs to the Mid-South Conference regular-season title with 45 points and earned Cape Fear region Player of the Year honors.

Speck scored 29 goals in two seasons and in December 201, she along with All-Island midfielder Lexi Vermiere and goalkeeper Melanie Strudthoff powered Guam High to its second Independent Interscholastic Athletic Association of Guam island championship in school history, joining the Jessica Charles-backstopped 2003 team.
