Somerby Newton '27 Recruiting Profile

I am a focused and determined student-athlete. I balance an academically rigorous schedule of all honors class with 3 seasons of athletics and student government. My academic success translates onto the lacrosse field, and I demonstrate a high lacrosse IQ in games and practices. I am a team player whose strengths include: 1v1 and settled defense, groundball control, midfield transition, communication, and the ride on attack. My endurance, stamina and grit are exemplified during the ride on attack. I do not give up and my high school coach referred to me as "the queen of the ride." On defense, my technicality is demonstrated in textbook defense that is effective and does not yield fouls. Lacrosse has been a major part of my life and identity since kindergarten and I look forward to playing at the collegiate level. I know that I have the fortitude, passion, and commitment to play at the next level. This season, my tenacity was highlighted when I played with staples in my head, the result of an opponent's check & ER visit.
