Ellie Smith '21 Recruiting Profile

My main goal is to complete my degree and progress into a medical field.  

I started playing soccer when I was about three, encouraged by my mother who played in college.  I quickly progressed from park and rec soccer, to elevated play with CRUSA then RUSH, our regional elite team. One summer I didn't play soccer because it interfered with softball, and think that was the moment I realized how much I loved the sport and wanted to pursue it and compete at the highest level.

One of my strengths in any sport I play, especially soccer, is I elevate the play of my teammates around me. I enjoy assisting their play and supporting them emotionally. I also have been commended by many coaches as being one of the most coachable players. 

I am good at communicating and anticipating where players are going to go, providing a good feed of the ball.

I know I can compete at any level I set my mind to, and would be a great addition, asset, and leader to any team.
