Caroline Galligan '17 Recruiting Profile

I'm looking for a school where I have a balance between my academic and athletic goals. I've played sports since the 3rd grade and have always loved them. I enjoy having structure in my life and I feel playing a college sport is the best way to do so, while also focusing on my academics.  I am a committed student as well as a committed athlete. I'm an unselfish type of player whereas a defensive stop, ground ball or draw control are more important to me than a goal. I don't expect things to come easy and I'm an extremely hardworking player. When I didn't make varsity as a freshman I continued to work hard on JV and was pulled up after my fourth JV game. In my first Varsity game I scored a goal and played a total of 15 minutes a half. I've played Varsity ever since. I also take coaching well because I understand that it is intended to make me a better player not to criticize me.
