Nathaniel Ricciuti '25 Recruiting Profile

My name Is Nathaniel Ricciuti and I live in Beverly, Massachusetts. I have played lacrosse since the first grade, and I have had the goal of playing lacrosse at the college level since that time. I strive to be a good teammate, person, and leader on my teams, and I play any role that my coaches ask of me to the best of my ability.  I have played attack for the last several years and I have specialized in around-the-crease feeding and shooting. I have a quick release for feeds and inside shots and a strong outside shot. I am a coachable athlete who strives to build a positive team environment.  I am always looking to learn new information or different perspectives from coaches or my fellow players to improve my own ability. I am also a hockey goalie, and this makes me a better attack in lacrosse because I recognize where to be and how to move to score goals.  The combination of these two sports and positions really has helped me understand shooting angles and it has improved my overall game in both sports.  I am an associate official with EMLOA, and I officiate youth games. Working as a lacrosse official also helps me obtain a different perspective. I volunteered to coach the local little scoopers program in the past and I will continue to assist with this program to try to inspire the next generation of lacrosse athletes.  My short-term plan is to focus on practicing lacrosse daily and studying hard in my academic courses to become an outstanding student-athlete.  I want to find a college program where I fit in as a player and a person.  I also plan on studying business, sports business/media and I hope to attend a college or university that has excellent programs in these majors.
