Elena Mendoza '23 Recruiting Profile

My work ethic, coachability, versatility, and leadership on and off the field make me a very reliable player that will add enthusiasm and strength to your team. For most of my childhood, I competed at an elite level of competitive dance, which improved my full-body strength, flexibility, and agility. As a result, I am a very fast midfielder who can react and adapt to any situation under pressure. With a persevering dedication to field hockey, I always try to “go the extra mile” with a goal of improving my playing and learning new skills from my teammates and coaches. Passionate about field hockey since sixth grade, the idea of playing field hockey at the collegiate level has been my dream. In the classroom, I excel and expand my education by taking challenging courses, while also striving for academic achievement. I am a well-rounded student-athlete, with a love for field hockey who is honored to be considered for the next level!
