Recruit Profile
Mentally tough, coachable, aggressive, selfless, energetic, strong Lax-IQ, has grit . Strengths include: communication, coming out of crease to play as an 8th defender, cause turnovers, interceptions, & prevent crease-rolls.
I am a starter on Varsity at Northwest Guilford High School since 9th grade (#90). My club team is NC Fusion. I am coached by Charlotte Kirwan (high school) and Lyndsey Boswell (fusion). I have been playing lacrosse for 6 years. During my career with NC Fusion, I have mainly played on teams with 2021/2022 grads, which has developed my game a tremendous amount. I was the starting goalie on the NC Fusion Elite in the 2019-2020 season, which was comprised of mostly juniors and seniors with an abundance of talent. This opportunity allowed me to face shots from high-level athletes and experience a much faster pace of play which has greatly strengthened my skills. This past fall, I started on the Fusion 2022 Red team (although, I am a 2023) which had most of the past NC Fusion Elite players on the team. Again, it allowed me to face higher level play which I am very grateful for.
I am very passionate about lacrosse and do my best to be a leader and energize my teammates by having a respectful, outgoing personality. I am ranked in the top 8% of students. I am registered to take 3 APs, Latin, & 2 college dual enrollment courses. I value both my academic and athletic success. I consider myself a very hard worker on and off the field. I also play varsity field hockey for my high school. I enjoy refereeing lacrosse when I am not playing, and frequently volunteer within my community. I volunteer coach for the Oak Ridge Youth Association lacrosse program. I am a certified youth lacrosse official. I love all animals & I volunteer at the Red Dog Farm Animal Rescue Network every week!
I am a confident, dependable, and aggressive lacrosse player and am comfortable coming out of the crease to play as an 8th defender, to assist my team as needed to gain possession and prevent passes/crease rolls, and more. I have quick hands and feet. I am a very vocal player and I always do my best to better myself and my teammates. I have a great amount of respect for my coaches and peers and an even greater passion for the game of lacrosse! I want to do everything in my power to succeed and play at the next level while being a kind, supportive, and sincere person, teammate, and friend.
