Caitlyn Finnerty '18 Recruiting Profile

I am a highly dedicated student, soccer player and track runner.  I am focused on doing well on and off the field.  I finished my freshman year with all A's and B's.  I was on the honor roll all four marking periods.  My freshman year schedule included Honors World History, English and French classes.  In the fall of my freshman year, I was a keeper for the JV girls soccer team at Union High. 

I was a member of the Union Soccer League, as a player for the Union Lady Scorpions (travel soccer).  During the winter of freshman year, I participated in the indoor soccer games as a Scorpion.  I was the goalkeeper for the Union Lady Scorpions during the Fall of 2014 and the Spring of 2015.  Unfortunately, the fall 2015 travel season was been cancelled due to a lack of team members and the fact that many of the girls play for their respective high schools during the fall.

I am excited to announce that I was the starting goalie for the Varsity soccer team in the fall of my sophomore year.  In my first week as a Sophomore Varsity goalie, I ranked in the top 10 in the state of New Jersey for saves with a total of 20 during the week of September 7, 2015.

In the fall of 2015 I was accepted to the U.S. Parma Soccer Club as a starting goalie for the U16 Aventura team. 

I also have won numerous medals as a member of the Union High School Girls Track team.  I will continue to work hard throughout my high school years and beyond.

I was the starting goalie for the Varsity soccer team in the fall of my junior year.  I was nominated for Best Goalie in Union County (NJ) and won 2nd place out of a field of 23.  My work ethic is to always give 110%.

Outside of soccer, I am a member of my local Catholic Youth Organization.  I am also a Teen Mentor at my high school.  In the summer of 2017, I volunteered at the Children's Specialized Hospital in Mountainside, New Jersey.

My senior year at Union High School has been exceptional as I was one of the three girls varsity soccer captains.  We had a fantastic fall season as we won 14 out of 20 games.  I am excited to say that 9 of the 20 games were shutouts.  We came in second place in Union County because Westfield and Scotch Plains tied for first place in the county.  Our final game was a state game against Ridge where we lost 2-1.  It was a great season!
