Alexandra Cimino '22 Recruiting Profile

I am a 5'6" outside attacking midfielder from Elwood, Illinois and will graduate in the 2022 class. I have also played attacking mid and outside defender.  I have played many sports such as tumbling, gymnastics, cheerleading and volleyball but soccer was the sport  I kept wanting to come back to. When I was 11, I had hurt my right ankle just before tryouts, and was nervous that I was not going to be able to make the shots during tryouts.  So, I practiced really hard on getting my left shot stronger and now I can shoot with both feet.  Last year, I was the team captain of my U14 team and really loved being able to lead my team to a first place victory in their division. I can also throw the ball somewhere between 69-75 ft. My team mates call me the bionic arm. I have 5 years of club experience and I am now playing at a U17 level.  My family is really important to me.  Therefore, staying close to home is important. I am interested in all schools in the Midwest, however, I will consider other schools outside the Midwest.  As of right now I am not sure what field of study I want to pursue in college, but science really interests me.
