I have had the pleasure of working with Annalise in the classroom as well as on the lacrosse field, where she has shown numerous leadership skills; she is one of those student/athletes you keep in touch with because you want to watch her reach her tremendous potential as a person, student, and as a working part of society. Annalise is an excellent student and a well-rounded individual. You can tell a lot about her character by the friends she keeps and how she handles herself with her peers. She is far ahead of the game when it comes to her work ethic and her ability to learn. The interactions I have had with Annalise have been positive, professional and have been meaningful as well. She has a way of connecting with others and helping them feel as though they are part of the team; she will greatly excel on any team she is placed. Highly recommend!

Annalise works hard every day to get better. She always is hustling and wanting to know how she can improve. Annalise takes the time to listen to her coaches and teammates to ensure the team is benefiting and if a mistake is made, she wants to understands how it won’t happen again. She plays mostly defense but is starting to transition into midfield as her speed and lax IQ can be utilized on both sides of the field. She plays hard defense and is rarely beat keeping her attacker in front of her. She tracks the attackers and constantly communicates to her teammates while on defense. She is a great teammate to others and is a natural leader on and off the field.

Annalise is an excellent defender. She uses her quickness, athleticism, and high LAX IQ to defend the opposing team's better offensive players. She is always in the right position and rarely gets beat 1v1. In addition, she excels in transition. Annalise also flexes to middie and plays the position well. Finally, she is extremely coachable and a player willing to do what the team needs.
