Sophie Shaw '20 Recruiting Profile

Competing at the highest level in lacrosse is very important to me. It would be a dream come true if one day I could represent the United States and bring home a gold medal in lacrosse. I would like to attend a school that where I can pursue my intended major and contend for a championship every year.

As a Freshman (2017)

• 1st Team All-Region
• 1st Team All-Conference
• Columbus Dispatch Player of the week
• Led the team in goals scored with 52
• Broke the school record for ground balls with 73
• Broke the school record for draw controls with 141

Beyond my lacrosse skills, I pride myself on being the hardest working player on and off the field.  I currently have a 4.0 GPA and was the only freshman to be named to the varsity field hockey squad (starting as a sophomore). I also run on my  high school's winter track team and have been successful in competing in the 200M and 400M events.  I contribute much of this success to my willingness to work harder than everyone else.   Despite being a 3 sport athlete, I strive to maintain balance in my life.  I am involved with student council, Youth Government and volunteer on a regular basis.  Outside of my activities, I have a great group of friends that I love to hang out with and love to travel with my family.

I strive to be a positive role model to my teammates and younger lacrosse players by conducting myself with humility and grace.  Lacrosse is the one thing in my life that pushes me to be the best I can be, it makes me push myself the way nothing else can.
