Joseph Rivera '23 Recruiting Profile

Lacrosse is my hands down favorite sport to play. As a long-stick midfield-defender who has been playing lacrosse since second grade, I am an instinctive player that anticipates fakes, dodges and passes and aggressively hunts ground balls (52 last season). I use competitive skills learned from varsity wrestling to read opponent strategy. I am good at clamping efficient scorers without penalties and pushing dodgers down the alley. I'm a team player that plays my position to help our team win. I've played lacrosse in Oklahoma (Capital City United, Tulsa Impulse) Seattle (Shoreline/Shorecrest, North Seattle Blackfish), Santa Fe, NM, and Westport, CT.  I enjoy the game more each season.  I hope to find a college team that balances academics and athletics.
