Mia LaPietra '21 Recruiting Profile

Honestly, before COVID I can't remember a day going by without playing soccer.  Even after school sports I would hustle off to travel soccer practice or games.  It didn't matter how exhausted I was and I may have hours of homework.  Why? I love the game and I love my being part of my team.   I'm all in and 110% committed to everything I do, my Club team or my school teams.  I have played year-round competitive  club soccer with the same travel team for over a decade.  I am loyal, determined and have high expectations of myself on and off the field.  I have set a high academic standard for myself, have kept my course load rigorous and play 3  high school varsity sports as well.  This keeps me very active and helps me manage my time effectively.  I believe in the strength of the team as a whole and support my teammates.  I am looking to attend a 4 year college, pursuing a degree in Biochemistry (Chemistry) and hope to play soccer at a Division II or III level school.  I will most likely go on to pursue an advanced degree in pharmaceutical sciences.   I am a solid player and excel as an outside back due to my speed.  Defense is my natural position but I have trained and played outside mid and forward.  I run indoor and outdoor Track & Field  at the Varsity level as well.
