Cassandra Whitlatch '17 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals academically in my future is to graduate with a masters degree in Forensic Science. I am very passionate about Forensics, and I have been since I was in about fourth grade. This is so because of my favorite show C.S.I.  I always commit to doing my best in school no matter what. I know my education comes first, so that is why I really enjoy learning.

My collegiate goals athletically is to have an opportunity to continue playing the sport I love. I would love to wear a uniform representing a college team and also to meet new girls and become a family. Receiving a great opportunity to learn and develop new skills from a college coach is just absolutely amazing to me. Stepping out on a field just makes all my troubles disappear. Soccer is my passion, and I can't imagine who I would be without it in my life. 

I believe I am a good candidate because every time I step out on a field I put in a hundred and ten percent effort. I always want to improve, and I never believe you could learn too much. Something I think makes me different from other girls is my leadership on and off the field. I always try to keep my teammates heads up, even if we are losing or we make mistakes. Being vocal on the field is a key to being a leader I believe, and I always communicate on the field for that reason. I also am a very versatile player because I can play almost anywhere on the field (especially all of midfield and defense). Ever since I was very young I have always loved playing soccer, and I always will.
