Ava is simply put a difference maker and a game changer. Her natural instincts and ever improving mechanics between the pipes give any team she plays for a chance to compete. Ava has a high lacrosse IQ and is a student of every game; reading and learning the tendencies of opposing shooters. She is active outside of the cage both defensively and on the clear. Her composed nature allows her to handle pressure well while making clears with pinpoint accuracy. Ava has started and played every minute of every Varsity game for us since she was in 8th grade and has grown into a mature, confident goaltender with skill and composure beyond her age. She is a passionate competitor willing to do whatever it takes to help her team succeed. Having played and coached at the collegiate level, I am confident that Ava’s future is bright and she will be a mainstay and difference maker on any collegiate team.

It is hard to find the words to describe Ava as both an athlete and a person. Simply put, she is a natural. Ava is incredibly skilled, harworking, and passionate. She is a competitor and coachable. I have been working with Ava consistently since she was in 5th grade and there has never been a training session where she did not bring her "A" game. She is self-motivated, thrives under pressure and conscientious. Every aspect of her game is stellar. As a coach, you want a player who is going to "buy-in" to the program, Ava will do just that and than some. With Ava on your team, you are guaranteed to have an athlete who is dedicated, shows leadership, and a team-player.

Ava is a top D1 goalie recruit without a doubt. In the many years I have been coaching I have never had, or have seen on another team, a goalie with better instincts. Her form is spot on. She reads the ball insanely well. What would be an amazing save for other goalies Ava makes look like an average shot. Her clears are spot on short and long. Ava has an infectious personality that her teammates are drawn to which helps with team chemistry. In my opinion she is one of the top goalies in the country for her age group.

Ava is a naturally gifted athlete whose reflexes, ability to read plays and quick feet make her one of the best goalies at her age level. She brings a proactive aspect to the position that allows her to make plays I’ve personally only seen from a handful of college goalies. She is only going to get better and her coachable and friendly personality makes her a great teammate and a great player to coach. She is self motivated and is able to adjust to any type of defense. Any team that has Ava on it can compete at any level. Recruit this goalie!
