Angela Slattery '21 Recruiting Profile

I was just a small-town Wisconsin farm girl playing in Premier Girls Fastpitch Nationals in California, yet all I could think of was how much I wanted to be playing basketball. College basketball to me is the next step and the truth is I have four possibly five more years of basketball after high school. I want to spend that time doing something I love at the right school, with the right team. I'm in the gym before school and shooting at home after because I always want to improve.  Practicing by myself has always been my way to think through things, it's always been my outlet. I don't have to think through this, I know I have to play college basketball.

  I know my stats aren’t jumping off the page and I know I don’t have years of AAU experience but I bring a lot more to the table that outweighs that. I’ve been a captain on my varsity basketball and softball teams since I was a sophomore.  Currently, my varsity basketball team is ranked number 11th in the state for Division 2, and I’m the anchor of the team as a captain and leading scorer. What sets me apart, is my view on basketball it’s always been simple, teamwork. When we’re blowing a team out, I’m not looking to improve point averages, instead, my main focus has always been improving chemistry.  In fact, my highest-scoring games are against the top teams we play. Putting up points is important, but ask me if asked rather have an individual or team success? Every time it would be the same, team. On top of sports, I volunteer weekly at the Wisconsin Veterans Home, monthly at Buddy Break (special needs group) at my church, and frequently at other volunteer events I find within my community.
