Recruit Profile
I am a very easy to coach with great stick skills, field awareness, speed and agility. I'm effective and efficient with both hands. I'm a team player above all!

I started out running track and gave lacrosse a shot about prior to entering 9th grade. After attending a weekend camp, I fell in love with the game. I tried out for the Strongsville HS team and through some dedication, hard work and luck had the opportunity to be a varsity starter as a Freshman. In my two seasons with my HS team I helped to achieve an overall record of 31-6. Through my 10th grade season I have 106 Goals, 30 Assists, 81 CTO, 79 GB and 105 Draw Controls. I pride myself on being a team player. I have great speed and agility and am comfortable using both hands. I was picked as the Most Improved Player on my HS Varsity team in 2021. Some of my best memories on the HS team were driving to and from practice with the Seniors, who I still keep in regular contact with. As a newer player to the game, I've been fortunate to have the opportunity to play for some awesome coaches and also to play with and against a variety of great players. I am always looking to improve and spend countless hours on the rebounder and goal practicing. I am very competitive but also love to have fun on the field and I try my hardest to bring positive energy to my team. I can often be seen dancing during pre-game warm up and possibly even while setting up on circle. I am a swim coach for my community swim team where I love to work with younger children to teach them different swim strokes to advance their skills. I love music and animals. I like to spend time with my pets Boomer (dog) and Princess (cat). I'm very personable and outgoing. I love to spend time with my friends and family.

I first met Tori when she joined our High School practice, the summer going into 9th grade. Tori's willingness to learn a new sport coupled with her natural athleticism, made her an intriguing player to watch. Through much hard work, she made our varsity team and became one of our stand out Midfielders by the fourth game. She continues to excel at a remarkable pace and is considered "elite talent" heading into her Sophomore season. Besides making her mark on the field, she's also one of our most approachable players, always willing to lend a hand with the new players. I look forward to watching Tori continue to master her craft and play at the highest level possible.

Tori is a special player that excels in the open field using her speed and athletic ability. She is tremendous at getting GBs after the draw; boxing out and taking the appropriate angles. She is a leader and a great teammate making everyone better around her. I've been blessed to coach several high caliber boys, Tori is special and will make a college program very happy.

Tori is a dynamic athlete with good field awareness. She has an excellent speed dodge with the ability to finish with both hands. She has the balance of power, and finesse. Tori is relentless in the ride, on ground balls, and in transition. Defensively, Tori plays good body D as well as a great team defender. Tori would be a great add to any college program.
