Francesco Lapenna '19 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals are to be a starting hockey goaltender in a NCAA Division 1 program, while continuing my education in a business or medicine field. I would make a good candidate for an NCAA Division 1 program as I am extremely determined, and hardworking in both my sport and my studies. I am never satisfied and relentlessly attempt to improve, continuously making myself superior the previous day. I am different from other recruits as along with my competitive nature, I bring a sense of good sportsmanship and leadership. I like to consider myself a gentleman and an ideal teammate and friend. Hence, I believe that I can bring a positive atmosphere, and strong team chemistry along with my academic and athletic efforts. In regards to athletics, I would be different from other recruits as I bring a sense of confidence and swagger to my game, along with a strong ability to anticipate plays, and to compete with my quick foot speed. In addition, I consistently battle to both see and save pucks any way possible, having a very aggressive and energetic style. In relation to academics, I would differ from other students as I consistently go see my teachers for extra practice, and for additional methods for solving the subjects problems. Subsequently this constant thirst for knowledge and methods gives me an edge over other students.
