Grace Ollendike
Recruit Profile
Passsionate lacrosse player who loves to work hard, motivate others, continue to develop and learn something new everyday.
I grew up with lacrosse all around me, since my Mom (4-time College All American and Division 3 Offensive Player of the Year - 1993) and Dad (All League & Conference) both played at Hartwick College. I started playing clinic lacrosse when I was in kindergarten. I have been playing travel/club team since the 5th grade.
This past season (2019), I was the 4th leading scorer (26 goals & 4 assists) on the Glen Rock Varsity team which was my second year playing and starting on Varsity (2 letters). I felt I really grew as a player this year and my skill level improved vastly. I am really looking forward to working hard this summer to get my skill level to the next level.
Since I play attack, I always find a way to get open on transition and I am also comfortable with using both hands whether it is dodging, shooting, catching, or throwing. To go along with that, I am comfortable dodging from the top of the 8 meter or behind the net to go to goal.
I am well rounded in terms of school and athletics, I played on the JV soccer team for my last two years and also enjoy being apart of the HS musical each winter. I am proud of myself academically and have made High Honor Roll or Honor Roll every marking period of High School. I also made it into the National Honors Society this year as a sophomore.
Throughout the years, I have been an active Girl Scout and just received my Silver Award and my next achievement is to get my Gold Award.
This past summer (2019), I volunteered for the Diverbo International Program in Aldeaduero, Spain. It was a nine day program where I taught English to Spainards around my age. The other volunteers and some of my roommates were from Ireland, England, Germany, Canada, and Wales. This was an amazing experience, where I got to meet teens from all around the world and learn about their cultures. I earned a total of 200 community service hours and got to have the best experience of my life. I am already looking forward to going again next summer.

Sue Montegari
Grace is a solid attacker with a very high lacrosse IQ. She is extremely coachable and hardworking and is confident in being a leader out on the field. Her tenacity is what makes her exciting to watch with loose balls and redefending. Grace is always a pleasure to be around!
Kyle McCourt
Grace has been a solid contributor for us since her freshman season and is still continuing to grow as a complete player. She plays relentless (i.e. re-defending) and is very smart with the ball in her hands. She is a natural born leader and works hard.
