MariaPaula Secada '18 Recruiting Profile

I am 5'10, 145 lbs, and play defense. I may not be the fastest player or have the best stick skills, but I look to improve everyday and give my 110% during games, practices, or just simple wall ball. I have a 3.7 GPA in high school, am part of my local youth group, and am always looking to volunteer whenever and wherever I can. My goal in lacrosse is to become a better defender by communicating as much as possible and to recognize the slide when needed to stop the offensive drive to goal. As for my academic goal, I want to be able to fulfill a successful career and maintain a job throughout my life. 

I am looking forward to continue lacrosse in college as it is a sport I really enjoy playing and love bonding with any team I am on. I believe I am a natural leader which helps me bring much spirit to the game.  

I love lacrosse but I also love my academics. I am looking for a school that can satisfy both of those categories and can give me the opportunity to not only grow as an athlete, but as a scholar as well. As of now, I am looking for a degree in pre-law to then be able to move on into law school. Location is not an important factor in my college deciding process, but I would prefer the east coast.
