Rachel Mikolay
Recruit Profile
2 sport varsity player... I'm NEVER silent, I am an aggressive and active goalie, and I know there's always room for improvement.
Hi my name is Rachel Mikolay. I am a junior at New Fairfield High School located in New Fairfield, CT. I started playing lacrosse when I was 14 and I was a midi/ attacker. My freshman year of high school I started playing goalie and I loved it. By the end of the regular season, my freshman year, I was the starting varsity goalie and played in all of the games in the post season. Ever since then I have dedicated myself to perfecting my skills, agility, and strength. In 2018, I received CHSCA All-State First Team and SWC All-Conference Division. My team won states for the second time in a row and are now a two-time defending state champion team. In addition, we won SWCs for the first time since 2005 and won SWC All-Patriot Division (regular season award). I was game captain for 10 games including the SWC semifinal and final, and the state quarterfinal and semifinal. I was selected to play in the 2018 CT Girls' Rising Stars team. In 2017, I received MVP for Class S State finals and semifinals, CHSCA All-State First Team and SWC All-Patriot Division Team. In addition, I was named one of the Top 20 Girls Lacrosse All-Stars in the state by Hearst Connecticut Media and I was the youngest receiver. I've made well over 100 saves sophomore year alone and I have a 76% save average. In 2017, my high school team won Class S States for the first time since 2008. I also play varsity field hockey and I am on the honor roll. I’ve been speaking Mandarin Chinese for 3 years and French for 6 years. I was inducted into the National Honors Society for Chinese in 2017. I volunteer a lot for my town, various organizations, and I want to start coaching youth goalies so they can be more confident in the cage! In my free time I enjoy listening to music, watching tv/ ice hockey, and being with my friends & family!
