Catia Lai '22 Recruiting Profile

My dedication, passion, and diligence are a major part of who I am because these characteristics go everywhere with me. On the field, these characteristics bring out a relentless desire to work my hardest and be the best teammate as possible. In school, they bring out a love for learning and challenge. In my community, they bring out a desire to work towards bringing change and lead others to do the same.

From my first save, I knew that I would never want to stop. From that moment, I knew being a field hockey goalie was going to become such an important part of me and it turns out I was right! I first experienced that innate desire to play field hockey as a goalie when I was younger; however, as I have grown as an individual, that desire has grown as well!

Every day I strive to be my best self and work toward making my long-lasting dream of playing field hockey at the collegiate level a reality.
