Emilia Catinella '26 Recruiting Profile

Continuing my education in college will help me a achieve my goal of a career in the health care field. Athletically my desire is to compete against the best competition in the country. College soccer is the next step after years of preparation, I believe in my abilities to compete and succeed at the highest level. Athletically I consider myself as a clutch player. While most players shy away from the big game or moments, I excel in high pressure situations. My speed and on the field awareness (soccer IQ) separates me from the competition, I have a desire to find the ball on crosses and finish. Setting up scoring chances and assisting teammates is another part of my game that stands out. While scoring goals as a forward is expected I also seek out chances to high press defenders and creating trouble for the back line. Teammate camaraderie in practice and training sessions is something I look forward to. Setting a high standard of play and competition while having fun and learning from my coaches to continue to grow myself as a player.
