Josette "Josie" Prince '19 Recruiting Profile

When I was in grade school, my mom and dad signed me up for the city softball league.  I played catcher, first and third base, and was a pitcher.  I was usually the lead-off batter because my coach said I was fearless.  A few years later I started playing YMCA volleyball which transitioned into setting for a few USA Volleyball club teams.  My freshman year in high school, they started a girls lacrosse program.  I'd never played lacrosse before and wondered if I'd be any good.  It was an opposing season to volleyball so I could play both sports.  Making the decision to play lacrosse was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Because we were a new team, we weren’t allowed to have a Varsity team, but we played some Varsity games. I was the only freshman on the JV team which was a little scary at first, but I became great fiends with the upperclassmen. Having them be my role models, I’ve tried to reciprocate that towards the underclassmen as I’ve aged.

During my sophomore season, I almost beat a senior for the captain position, but I lost it by one vote, and at the banquet at the end of the season, my teammates voted me Overall Most valuable player.  My junior year, I was voted team captain and Most Valuable Offensive Player.  I look forward to what this season brings, and what I can bring to my team.
