Lumen Christi freshman Tristin Johnson drives title push

A rare all-year impact

The report says Johnson has already been part of championship runs in football and girls’ basketball, and now soccer is where she looks most capable of driving a title push herself.

That matters because this is not a novelty role. By the report’s account, soccer is the sport she feels most natural in, and that background is beginning to show at the sharp end of the season. Multi-sport athletes often bring stamina and competitive edge, but Johnson’s case appears to go beyond that: she is now producing decisive end product.

The playoff form that changes everything

In a recent win over Leslie, the report says Johnson scored a hat-trick and took her season total to 12 goals. One finish reportedly came with her left foot, a detail that points to a player adding range rather than relying on one instinct or one angle.

Lumen Christi’s wider form also gives the story weight:

  • The report says the team has gone 5-9-2 overall.
  • It also says Lumen Christi has scored 14 goals in its last three matches.
  • Those results reportedly include wins over Columbia Central and Leslie, plus a 3-3 draw with Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard.

For a side with an uneven record, that attacking burst is significant. It turns Johnson from a promising freshman into a genuine playoff lever.

Why she matters now

Recent tournament runs have reportedly given Lumen Christi both pedigree and urgency. Johnson’s finishing gives the team something every knockout side needs: a player who can tilt a match quickly.

If that scoring run continues into the next round, the chase for East Lansing will remain very real - and Johnson’s push for a third state title in one school year will only gather momentum.
