Sarah Luby '17 Recruiting Profile

  Hello! My name is Sarah Luby and I’m currently attending Sparrows Point High School, which is a 1A conference school in Baltimore, Maryland. Academically the SPHS Environmental Science magnet, of which I belong, is well respected among county schools and we have an involved student body.

Some of my accomplishments in high school are 2nd team all-county top division during my freshman year, 1st team all-county top division sophomore year and have been a starter on varsity all years of my high school career in not only field hockey but for varsity lacrosse as well.  I have also been a starter for the indoor track team for two years and during my sophomore season was part of the regional champion 4X800 relay team. I was also an alternate on the Region 7 Futures U16 team in 2014.

Some characteristics that you should know about me are that I’m responsible, funny, determined, kind, open hearted and curious.  I want to do many things in life and making a difference on my college hockey team is one of them.  What is also just as important to me is getting a quality education that I then can apply in the real world.  I play on the Baltimore Stix club team and I have been a committed member since the beginning of the program.  I have learned a lot through playing with this club throughout the years and would like to continue to grow and learn in the game throughout college.

 Some things I accomplished on my club team are for our 2014 Disney college showcase I was chosen as a captain for the tournament and we moved on to the medal round in the Disney 2013 tournament.  Some statistics that define me as an athlete are that I’m in 90-100% of the game and disrupt 75% of the corners that I fly out on defensively.  Academically, my intended college major keeps changing as I gain more knowledge about who I am as a person.  My majors that I have in mind are Environmental, Civil, Biomedical and Chemical Engineering along with cell research, infectious disease and cancer studies.  Other areas of interest are emergency room medicine and Psychiatry.  

I can offer a lot to any team because I would like to think that I play a leadership role by communicating on the field and making sure everyone is having fun off the field.  Making sure that you have a good relationship with your team is very important and for my high school team I help us all get along by helping organize team gathering and other team bonding activities.

 Field Hockey is a part of me because it’s something that keeps me going.  No matter how bad my day is, if I have a game or practice or just a few shots on goal, I feel better because I instantly relax and go hard the whole time.   Playing quality college field hockey has always been a dream of mine since I realized how important it is to me and the impact I can have while being part of a team.  I coach a recreational team in the community and the girls would come to see my games and I would help them with school.  We met through hockey and whenever we see one another they ask if I’m coaching and I say yes because I can’t let them go.  I hope I can get them to love field hockey as much as I do.
