Rachel Fagin '26 Recruiting Profile

Hi, my name is Rachel Fagin! As I grew up, I was always involved in sports. I swam for my neighborhood swim team starting from when I was 5 to when I was 11, and during my 2018 season, I won relays and divisionals in breaststroke and was awarded the “Kick Like You Care” team award. I played basketball between 2nd and 8th grade, and I helped my middle-school team win the conference championship two seasons in a row. In my last basketball season, I found a sport that truly resonated with me, volleyball. I have played club volleyball since 8th grade on MEVC 14-1 Pride, Moco 15-1 Menace, Academy 16 Travel, and Academy 17 Travel. I am currently ranked #107 on Prepdig for Virginia/DMV class of 2026 rankings. Last year, I earned first-team all PVAC, PVAC tournament MVP, and PVAC Player of the Year while leading my team to out first conference championship win in three decades. I want to bring that kind of impact to a college program.

Academically, I have always been a strong student. Because of my commitment to success, I have sustained a high GPA and have been placed on the Dean's List for the last three years. I have also played the cello since 4th grade, and I have aspired to become an architect for years. At the beginning of freshman year, I earned the Global Seal of Biliteracy in Hebrew, and I am currently one of my school's STEM Fellows and a member of the Student-Athlete Leadership Committee. I would love to compete in competitive volleyball in college, but what will always come first for me is going to a school that will provide me with a great education and an established Jewish community! I hope to take part in a Hillel program that will allow me to embrace who I am outside of volleyball. Thank you for visiting my page!
