Ferrera joins Gonzaga after being named First Team All-KingCo in 2014 at Lake Washington High School. She was the team's MVP. The Kangaroos went 13-6 overall in 2014, including 10-2 in district play, before falling to Mt. Spokane in the WIAA Class 3A tournament. LWHS outscored its opponents 45-15 during Ferrera's senior season.

"I chose Gonzaga because it felt like home," Ferrera said. "It is a great academic fit for me, and I knew I wanted to be a part of the amazing soccer program."

Ferrera's club team, Washington Premier FC, was the ECNL Northwest Conference champions in 2013 and 2014. They won the ECNL B Flight national title in 2012, after being the US Club national champions Super Group in 2011. Ferrera boasts a 3.9 GPA and has been on the honor roll each of her four years of high school.

"Mac's fierce competitiveness adds gritty mentality to our pressing style," Edwards said. "A multifaceted defensive player, she delivers composed attacking qualities along with her relentless tackling."
