John Matrisciano '12 Recruiting Profile

I am presently a 19 year old sophmore at Elms College(birthday in april).I was a 3 year starting Goal Keeper for the West Haven High School Junior Varsity team and a 1 year starter for the West Haven varsity team. I am am presently 6' 2" weighing 220. I work out 3- 5 times per week when practice and game schedule allows. I hope to play soccer as a keeper while becoming a history teacher and a high school soccer coach when I am out of school. My geographical preference is to play anywhere on the East Coast but am open to expanding my range dependent upon the institution. I maintained a 3.1 average and ranked in the top half 1/3 of my class. I was a varsity tennis player and captain in the spring and was a band president. I didn't play much my freshman year and was looking to transfer if my sophomore year was in the same result. My freshman year we were NECC champions and qualified for the NCAA tournament but was knocked out in the first round. My sophomore year of college we were NECC champions again and qualified for our second National Tournament but lost first round yet again. I'm looking for a school that will give me a chance to work hard, play, and help their team strive towards a successful season.
