FMSpro is thrilled to announce the signing of Melina Kennedy with Colby College!

Melina, a versatile and exceptionally athletic 2007-born defender, currently plays for Taft and excels as a wing-back or full-back thanks to her remarkable speed and technical skill. She’s known for pushing high up the flanks and becoming a dangerous threat in the attacking third, while also having the versatility to play as a center-back when needed.

A key contributor to both her club and school teams, Melina has consistently helped them contend for championships. Although Taft narrowly missed out on the New England Playoffs this past season, her impact and consistency were undeniable.

Off the pitch, Melina is just as impressive in the classroom. She maintains a perfect 4.0 GPA while managing a demanding academic schedule — a testament to her discipline and drive.

Coach Seth Benjamin at Colby College is incredibly enthusiastic about her arrival, confident that Melina will make an immediate impact on the program. Colby competes in the elite NESCAC conference, often referred to as the “Mini-Ivy League” for its academic and athletic rigor. With an acceptance rate of just 9%, Colby is among the most selective institutions in the country.

Congratulations to Melina Kennedy on this well-deserved achievement. Her future — both on and off the field — is looking incredibly bright!
