Gabriella Gemelli '25 Recruiting Profile

I have played field hockey for 5 years and it quickly became my absolute favorite sport. Competing has constantly been a part of my life, as I was a gymnast for 4 years prior to playing field hockey. Discovering field hockey was completely new to me, and I learned how to work with others as a team and the importance of communication. I thrive under pressure, both academically and athletically, while having to balance both. I have played and started on my high school's varsity team since I was a freshman. I understand the responsibilities of playing collegiate level sports, and given the opportunity, I am ready to take them in stride. Academically, I hope to be my class' valedictorian, as I have recently discovered that I have the current highest GPA in my class. Athletically, I hope to perform well at NIT's with my travel team CNY Rage. This dream of playing field hockey in college has developed over the years and I have worked hard to fulfill it. I am extremely dedicated in the classroom and on the field, and I will be sure to display that as a student-athlete. My goal is to become the best field hockey player I can be and to be challenged throughout my time at the collegiate level.
