Recruit Profile
Aggressive, coachable, team player with strong lax IQ and powerful shot. Team USA U15 Select team. Multi-sport varsity athlete. Set a new school record for goals in a single season.

I was a member of the USLacrosse Team USA Select U15 team and was mentioned in the US Lacrosse Magazine recap for the U15 games for having a hat trick both days. I am comfortable dodging and handling the ball under pressure. I was among the leading goal scorers in NJ each week per NJ.com. I am comfortable using both hands.

After my freshman season, I was named to 1st Team All-Conference, 1st Team All-South Jersey and 1st Team All- Burlington County. I was the NJ Olympic conference player of the week, 4/18/19. At Lenape, I play attack on the circle. I led Lenape in Goals (86), GB (147) and Draw Controls (107). I also had 37 FTO and 14 Assists. I set a new record for my high school for goals in a single season. I was also named to All-State Group 4 second team (only 2022 to make a team).

I started playing club lacrosse in 4th grade on a 5/6 grade team. I play midfield and attack for my club team. I have been named to multiple All-Star teams and select teams.

I also play Varsity Field Hockey 2018, 2019. I was named to 1st team All-conference for field hockey. I am in honors classes and on the honor roll. I have been a volunteer youth lacrosse coach for my town for 3 years and most recently volunteered for the local TRYLAX.

Gianna may be one of the most talented players I have EVER coached. The level of her intensity, relentlessness, and competitiveness is something you cannot teach and you rarely see nowadays. As a freshman, G was unstoppable leading our team in goals, total points, draw controls, and ground balls.

Michele Dejuliis

G is one of the most competitive players I know. Her determination, intensity and drive make her an unstoppable force on the field on both ends. She is a true leader by example and is a critical to the success of the team.
