Lily Ruiz '26 Recruiting Profile

Volleyball has been a huge part of my life, teaching me the value of hard work, dedication, and discipline. Through the highs and lows of the game, I’ve learned to stay resilient and never give up. It’s instilled in me important values like teamwork, communication, and sportsmanship. The friendships and bonds I’ve formed with my teammates have made me more empathetic and understanding. Along with this these values will help me achieve my goal of getting a college degree. I’m still undecided on a major, but I’m considering Athletic Training or Nursing. The lessons I’ve learned from playing and my ambition to succeed beyond the sport make me a strong candidate for any team.
