Emma Straub '24 Recruiting Profile

I'm coachable, versatile, aggressive and an enthusiastic team player with high lacrosse IQ. When I walk on to the field, I know what my purpose is. 

I started playing lacrosse in 6th grade as a midfielder for my hometown team.  In 9th grade, my lacrosse coach suggested I try defense and I really developed a passion for the game.  As a freshman I was a Varsity starter and played in both halves of 14 games of the 15 game season.  On recommendation from my high school coach, I joined a summer club and played in a few tournament games.  I’ve since been playing year round including 7v7 winter leagues. The more I play the more I want to play at the collegiate level. After 4 years I’m now back playing mid my ‘23 high school season and my game has just exploded.  

2023 High School Stats: 

17 goals 15 assists 60 ground balls 

36 draw controls 12 forced turnovers 

In addition to lacrosse,  I've been a year-round competitive swimmer since I was 9 years old for the YMCA.

I'm currently playing lacrosse and swimming for both High School Varsity and Club teams. I’ve completed Chemistry Honors and US History 1 Honors.  My Junior year included US History II Honors, Physics Honors and Spanish IV Honors classes.  I volunteer, work as a Lifeguard and swim instructor for the YMCA .  I'm determined to continue playing lacrosse in college and am looking forward to this Summer tournament season.  The more I play, the more I love the sport.

Through practice, hard work and dedication I'm confident I'd be an asset to any team.
