Izabella Filippini '17 Recruiting Profile

From a young age, I can truly say that soccer has always been my passion. I love the game and the competition. I also feel that I bring a keen understanding of the strategy, field vision, and an ability to see space and the options that are available. I am also a leader that can encourage camaraderie among the team.

Physically, I am a 5'5" midfielder from Redmond, WA. I have played for Eastlake High School’s junior varsity team for two years as a center defender and midfielder. I have also played in the midfield position for teams in the Crossfire Premiere club for six years.

Academically, I have a 3.4 unweighted GPA. All of my courses over the last three years have been either AP, Honors or University of Washington (college in the classroom) classes. I achieved a 1670 on the SAT and a 26 on the ACT.

What am I looking for? I am looking for an opportunity to combine my passion and drive for the game with a dynamic and collaborative team, and coaching environment that fosters success. I’m also seeking to balance my soccer career and goals with a competitive academic program at a university that has an outstanding academic reputation in the field of bio-med, with a possible focus in the area of forensics.

I look forward to exploring the opportunities that lie ahead and finding a mutual fit where I can make an immediate contribution. I’m excited to be part of a competitive college team and a great school/sports environment that enables me to further my soccer and academic achievements.
