Lexie Toney '19 Recruiting Profile

One of my unique qualities is that I spent many years training in martial arts. This has made me very disciplined, self motivated, coachable and a strategic thinker during games. I've earned a 2nd degree black belt in TKD and a Red Belt in Karate and participated in many tournaments. I think this gives me a different mental perspective from other girls I know as well as on the lacrosse field.

Lacrosse is my passion. I'm self-motivated and practice every day. This isn't a popular sport in Alabama, especially among the girls - so I like to practice and do drills with the boys at school.  This summer, I will be giving lessons to younger girls in my community in order to improve their skills outside of the club play.  

I would also love to overcome any stereotypes about southern girls in the sport. I'm an aggressive player with excellent ball handling skills, good shooting skills, and off ball movement.  Although I've only been playing for 4 years, I've been Most Valuable Player 3 of those years and 1st Team All State both of my high school years. I strive to always improve, be a better player and take constructive criticism from my coaches. My mother films my games - I love to rewatch the film to assess my play for improvements and analyze my opponents.  Two other important characteristics are that I'm a good communicator on the field and have always been a leader on my team.
