Sarah Cahill '18 Recruiting Profile

I began playing hockey nine years ago, in 2007.  Ever since I stepped on the ice to learn how to play hockey, I have loved every minute of it.  I played with the boys up until the 2011-12 season when I joined a U14 tier II girls team.  That season was when I realized that my dream was to play NCAA women's hockey.  The next season on that same team I earned an assistant captain role.  I played for the Colorado Select U14 tier II team the year after.  The 2014-15 season I played for a U19 tier II girls team in Utah as a freshman in high school.  I grew as a player and I helped my team to the National Championship tournament.  Being at the National Tournament made me realize that I can play at the next level.  Last year, 2015-16, I played for the Girls Madison Capitols U16 tier I team.  I believe that this was the year where I grew the most.  I learned to play at the highest level in the country and to compete with the girls at this level.  It was eye opening for me and I loved every minute of it.  This upcoming year (2016-2017) I will be playing for the Rice Memorial Prep Girls hockey team in Burlington, Vermont.  I am looking very forward to my season.    

Outside of hockey I am a hard working student as well as a multi- sport athlete.  As well as hockey, I run cross country and track and field.  Being a runner, I have learned the power of mental strength.  My freshman year of cross country I helped lead my team to the Utah State Meet.  After that season I earned a varsity letter as well as the "Best Newcomer" award.  I average a 3.88 GPA as well as being on the honor role every quarter.  I take three honors class and one AP class.  With challenging classes, playing for a very competitive hockey team, and being a competitive runner, I have learned to manage my time very well.

I am willing to make sacrifices for my future.  I will work my very hardest on and off the ice as well as in school to achieve my goals of playing NCAA women's ice hockey.
