Sofia Chepenik
Recruit Profile
Relentless, strong-willed, and extremely competitive leader with high lax IQ that plays physical and can score or pass with either hand. Also am caring, kind, and have a big heart.
I have been passionate about playing lacrosse ever since the age of 10.
For our most recent high school season, I led the team in every category, including draw controls, goals scored, assists, caused turnovers, and ground balls. In addition, was voted Captain and awarded the team MVP.
I was also voted All First Coast, an award voted by the Coaches in Northeast Florida given to the best 15 players in the region,
Outside of sports, I was elected to the National Honor Society, belong to several clubs and and volunteer with Daniels Club, an organization dedicated to at risk teens.
I am the fourth of four kids (one brother and two sisters). My brother played football for four years at Tufts University and my middle sister plays lacrosse for Embry Riddle University.
I also have two dogs, Sammye and Kobe and love taking them to the beach. I also enjoy singing and writing in my free time.
I love lacrosse! The friendships I have made and the lessons I have learned, shaped me into the person I am today. With out lacrosse I would have not experienced many adventures and challenges both on and off the field.
My goal is to play in college at a school with a strong lacrosse program and great academic reputation.
My favorite compliment so far on lacrosse field was when a parent starting yelling about me saying, "She's a leftie, she's a leftie..."
