Molly Atwell
Recruit Profile
Focused, versatile, disciplined, coachable team player with a strong LAX IQ and an excellent communicator on the field. Aggressive, multi-sport student-athlete, respected leader/captain as an underclassman.
I began to play the game of lacrosse in 5th grade, age 10. Instantly intrigued, I grew to love everything about the game. I consider myself to be a very coachable, disciplined, positive, determined, and aggressive defender/overall player. I believe that I have a strong understanding and IQ of the game. I'm constantly looking for new opportunities to improve stick skills, and field awareness. I am a defender for both Coatesville and Belles Lacrosse club. I feel as though I am consistent in my one on ones, communication, and leadership. I approach each game with a strong mentality that every game is winnable with team effort. Not only do I push myself on the field, but in the classroom as well. I am a conscientious student who works diligently to maintain all A’s, also while staying involved in after school activities and clubs. With the experience as a youth lacrosse official, I believe that I am educated on the rules of the game, not only from a player perspective but as an official as well. I'm always looking for different ways to give back to my community. I work and volunteer in my recreational program, allowing younger girls to grow not only their skills, but their love for the game. I feel that I have an excellent aptitude to play at the collegiate level, and a strong work-ethic both in-season and in the off-season.
Activities and clubs: Leo Club, Interact Club, Junior Class Cabinet, and Student Council. Inducted into the NHS. AP/ Honors Courses. PAGLA Youth Official. High school Varsity Field Hockey, and Lacrosse.

Her footwork and slide coverage in the 8m is commanding and explosive. A leader and communicator who empowers our defensive unit, Molly is that impact player who loves to compete and will excel at the collegiate level.

I am happy to write an endorsement for Molly. The most important thing is how great of a kid she is as well as a student and athlete. She comes from a very supportive family that not only supports her but her team and friends. Molly is a hard worker both on and off the field. Molly only started field hockey in 9th grade and has worked to become a varsity starter since 10th grade and a captain as an 11th grader. She gives it her all every game even working through injuries. Molly is a great teammate leading and encouraging her teammates through practice and games. Molly would be an asset to any team who is lucky enough to have her.

Her teammates gravitate towards because of her natural ability to lead. Being a two sport athlete gives her a true advantage on the field. Academically Molly has thrived.
