Emily Gillespie '20 Recruiting Profile

As the youngest of two older siblings and also one younger, I've always had a competitive drive in me. I've  also always felt the need to copy everything they do, which in this case was field hockey. I started playing field hockey when I was in the 5th grade and instantly fell in love with the sport. My coach suggested that I try goalkeeper one day, and something about those stinky pads made me fall in love even more. I didn't want to take them off. My love for the sport has grown and grown as I've gotten older. I make it my goal to give it my all at every single practice and especially every single game. I work my hardest not only on the field, but also in the classroom. I finished my freshmen year with a 4.0 GPA while in advanced and honors 1 level classes.
