Margit Burgess '17 Recruiting Profile

I have always been passionate about lacrosse since the moment I picked up a stick in fourth grade. I was a starting varsity attacker in 8th and 9th grade at The Williams School (combined middle and high school), was a starting varsity attacker in 10th grade and 11th grade. My junior year I finished with 44 goals and as the second top scorer. I also received the Offensive Player of the Year award (10th and 11th grade) and ECC first team (all-area), was an ECC all-star, and have received All-Area since 8th grade. I was also a team captain junior year and am as a senior now.

I finished my senior year with 67 goals (averaging about 4 goals per game) and 27 assists. I want to play in college at the highest level because lacrosse is a way for me to balance school and find personal and group achievements. I received All-State 1st Team and ECC AllStar 1st Team. I am taking a gap year for 2017-2018 and will be available for recruitment for the fall of 2018! 

My lacrosse achievements so far are: Athlete of the Year (The Williams School), Varsity Leading Scorer (9th Grade),  ECC-Allstars, ECC Champions, Indoor Women's U-19 Champions, Offensive Player of the Year (2015), Second Top Scorer (2015 and 2016), The Day Newspaper's All Area Team (2015). I also ran Varsity indoor track and participated in Eastern Connecticut's U-19 indoor league to prepare for every lacrosse season.
