Ella McKay
Recruit Profile
Very Coachable, super energetic, selfless player that is strong with both hands, strong Lax IQ, has an amazing ability to catch and finish under pressure in front of the goal.
Lacrosse was something I began as soon as I could hold a stick. My sister played and was older than me so she wanted to play catch constantly. I had to learn! I can catch anything... I'm a strong two handed attacker that can score off feeds or the drive. I'm a team player with a very coachable attitude. I've always been a part of a team and want to be in college as well. It keeps me focused, driven and a part of something bigger than myself! I love multiple sports. I was the youngest competing gymnast in the state of Oregon at age 6, started gymnastics at 2 yrs old, giving competitive gymnastics up for lacrosse. I pride myself on being a good student and worked hard for my 4.0 GPA. Sports I enjoy as a hobby are snowboarding & wake surfing! I play on the HS Varsity soccer team and am involved in a community service organization in West Linn, Hands Helping Hands.
Leading goals, caused turnovers, assists and ground balls on my high school team, I've been honored to be chosen twice 2021, 2022 as 1st team all league attack. (2020 was a covid year). My team becomes my family and I believe whole heartedly on loyalty, building each other up as women and teammates. I love working together toward a common goal. I love energy, competition and those that work hard to achieve.
"Ella is the hardest worker I know, putting in the extra time needed to be her best. She has excellent stick skills and control, quick, shifty feet and diverse shooting abilities. Ella consistently gives 100% - driving to goal, moving off-ball or on the ride. We can always count on her to play high level lacrosse. Additionally, Ella is a great teammate and a coachable player. I just love coaching Ella. -Coach Susan

The thing that stands out about Ella is her creativity and swagger with the game of lacrosse. What I mean about swagger is the way the way she handles her lacrosse stick, effortlessly. She is always looking for something new to master. Honored to have coached a player like her.
