Siena Atkinson
Recruit Profile
Multi sport athlete, respectful, team player, good listener, aggressive and great speed. SMART. Strive to be GASP-Great Athlete, Student and Person
A resourceful, competitive multi-sport athlete and coachable team player, with high-powered speed, excellent stick skills, and ingenious game vision
I am currently a sophomore and one of the strongest, multi-sport athletes. I began playing lacrosse at age seven and I joined DEWLAX in third grade. I have also played competitively on two Brine National lacrosse teams. I work diligently and excel in many positions: draw, midfield, and defense, and I also lead my team in speed. My coaches rely on my unique ability to transition, both offensively and defensively, with great vision. I thrive in tough competition, and because of my strengths, especially my speed and impeccable stick skills, I am most often assigned to marking the strongest player on opposing teams.
Also the last two year, I started and played every game on our girls varsity soccer team, which went on to win the North Jersey Group 1 State Championship 2021.I made a significant contribution on midfield and defense throughout the seasons entirety, and I enjoyed the camaraderie of my teammates, both on and off the field. My experiences thus far in both lacrosse and soccer have afforded me many opportunities to build character and strong, lasting friendships with a diverse set of girls.
I was the only freshman on the Varsity Lacrosse team. I was a starter and have played the entire game as a midfielder and attack.
I hail from a line of well-rounded athletes, and our familys motto is GASP: be a Great Athlete, Student and Person. I believe in "paying it forward," so I coach younger girls in soccer and lacrosse, work with young children in our local theater group, and volunteer in my community as part of the Glen Ridge Women's Club.
My lacrosse club coach Dwayne Wilkins says "Siena is a strong, fast hight IQ lacrosse athlete who plays relentless on both ends of the field. She is outstanding in transition both offensively and defensively and has great vision."

Taylor Pennell
Siena is a balanced multisport athlete. As a midfielder, she shines in the transition game. She has excellent open-field speed and vision for interceptions/caused turnovers. In addition, her skillset/lacrosse IQ makes her versatile and dependable across the field. On defense, Siena plays on the elbows or top of the eight-meter. She is strong in her approach and body contact in 1v1 defense. On the offensive end, Siena finds herself in the two-person game on and off-ball. She looks to create lanes and secondary opportunities. Her understanding of movement, space, and defense patterns makes her an offensive threat out of transition. Beyond her physical play, Siena is coachable, hardworking, and a fierce competitor.
Beth Larkin
Siena is playing above grade level. She has earned a starting spot on our Varsity team and with her speed, grit and natural athleticism coupled with her advanced lax IQ, she is definitely quickly becoming a young standout and should be gearing her sights to the collegiate level. Highly coachable and has strong desire to improve, with the understanding of the hard work it takes to achieve these goals.
Dwayne Wilkins

Fay Lonsinger
I have coached Sienna for the past 2 years from indoor to club lacrosse. As a freshman she has truly hit her stride. She is mentally tough and physically has grown into her body. She is strong, fast, smart and an asset to any team!
