Sydney Puntus
Recruit Profile
Coachable, versatile, multi-sport athlete with a high lax IQ. Consummate team player with quick hands and feet. Relentless with lots of hustle. High academic achiever.
I started playing lacrosse when I was in kindergarten and have loved the sport my whole life. I currently play midfield for my club lacrosse team, and am a varsity starter on attack for my HS team Pingry which was consistently ranked a Top 20 NJ team last year and a Top 10 team this year. I have 48 goals, 24 assists, 31 GBs and 14 FTs this year, and finished last high school season with 24 goals and 13 assists. I earned all conference honors both years and was named a team captain for the 2023 season. I am very comfortable with both hands and as a midfielder pride myself on my speed in transition, quick feet on defense and draws off the circle, and as an attacker my good vision, off-ball positioning, off-hand shooting and fierce commitment on the ride. In 2018 and 2019 I was chosen to be on the Maverik National Lacrosse Classic NJ team, and in 2020 I was chosen to be on the NJ Under Armour All America Lacrosse Command team. In 2021, I was selected for the UA 150 and the Lacrosse Magazine National Watchlist.
In addition to lacrosse, I have played club soccer for many years, including most recently for STA Soccer Academy. The last 3 years at Pingry I played on the varsity soccer team (as a starting midfielder my sophomore and junior years). In 2019, we won the NJSIAA Non-Public A State Championship and in 2020 we won the Non-Public Regional Championship. I earned all conference honors in 2021 and was named a team captain for the 2022 season.
In addition to playing sports, I volunteer weekly as a peer mentor for TryCan which helps kids with special needs. I especially like helping to teach yoga, reading and cooking. I also have served as a Community Service Council representative at my school the last two years, and volunteer as a tutor for an after school program.
I was on high honor roll for my freshman, sophomore and junior years, and have maintained a 4.0 (unweighted) GPA. As a senior, I will be taking AP Calculus, AP Chinese, AP Government and AP Psychology. I have also been selected to be a Peer Leader at Pingry my senior year.
