Incoming freshman Kylie Cino of Wando High School is the 2023-24 Gatorade South Carolina Girls Soccer Player of the Year.
The 5-foot-6 senior midfielder scored 23 goals and passed for 18 assists this past season, leading the Warriors (19-3) to the Class 5A state tournament quarterfinals. A three-time state champion, Cino was the 2023 South Carolina Coaches Association of Women’s Soccer Class 5A Player of the Year. She concluded her prep soccer career with 123 goals and 107 assists.
Cino holds a job at an area hair salon and she’s volunteered locally on behalf of Carolina Boxer Rescue. She has also donated her time to the Special Olympics and as a mentor for special needs students at Wando High. “Kylie’s work rate, coachability, technical ability, soccer IQ and mental toughness shape the extremely talented and driven player that she is,” said Shannon Champ, head coach of Wando High School. “She always strives to better herself as a player and leader.”
Cino has maintained a weighted 4.49 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a national letter of intent to play soccer on scholarship at the University of South Carolina this fall.
Cino joins recent Gatorade South Carolina Girls Soccer Player of the Year and Gamecock, Autumn Cayelli (2021-22, T.L. Hanna High School).
