Matthew Hillard '22 Recruiting Profile

Living in Kentucky there isn't a whole lot of lacrosse, especially one on one training for a goalie.  I was first introduced to lacrosse in middle school and became the first goalie for our club team.  I instantly knew that I wanted to go to college and play lacrosse.  Basically everything I do has been self taught and I feel like with the right training I have the potential to become a great asset to any team. I went from knowing very little, benched Freshman season, Sophomore season ending with COVID, to ending my Junior season with over 200 saves, being a 2020 Bluegrass Bash All-Star, 2021 All-Star, 2021 All-State and I won't stop there.  I will never be the best but I am determined to keep challenging myself and working hard to try to be.  I want to be a part of a team that not only wants to win but is also like family.  This will be my home away from home for many years. My team will be my family.
