Kate Orensky '22 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals are to grow as a player mentally and physically and be a contributing member of the team. A good candidate can think fast on the field, make smart passes, maneuver the ball through the defense and can get the ball in the net every once in a while. I believe I possess those skills that are needed to be successful.

When it comes to character, most would say I am outgoing, positive, and willing to work and practice hard. In the classroom, I take all advanced classes including honors classes. 

I am currently 16  and have been playing soccer for 11 years.  I’ve played 6 years of travel for Richmond Strikers. In the fall of 2020 I will be on the Strikers 04 Elite team that plays in the ECNL- VA Regional Division. In 2018-19 we won the VPL State Cup and played in the NPL Tournament in Colorado!  This spring as a Sophomore (2022 grad) at Mills Godwin high school I made the varsity team for the second time. Unfortunately we didn't get to play the season due to COVID19.

I prefer to play wide midfield but I also like forward and attacking mid. I enjoy making through balls to the forward or taking corner kicks. I like playing for coaches that are direct and forward about what I need to fix and will occasionally give positive feedback.

Thank you for looking at my profile!
