Grace Hinkel '25 Recruiting Profile

I began playing lacrosse in third grade after playing ice hockey my whole life. I immediately fell in love with the game and my passion for lacrosse continues as time goes on.

As a sophomore, I was a second year starting varsity attacker and became the single season record holder for goals and  caused turnovers in girls lacrosse at my school. I have great field awareness, outstanding lacrosse IQ and I know the rules very well. Everyday I push myself to be better than I was the day before. I am a coachable player that is willing to hear any feedback and act on it. I have great stick skills using both my dominant (left) and non dominant (right) hand. I am and always have been a team player, I love being close to all of my teammates and being around them on and off the field. I am willing to help people in any way I can. I spend the off season assisting my former youth lacrosse coach develop the next season of girls.  I put in the work during the off season so I can be the best player possible for the season.

l am a hardworking student and athlete. My academics are just as important to me as lacrosse, I work hard in school and push myself to do my best work, while taking honors courses. I manage my time and plan ahead to be sure I can balance my work load. I want to continue my lacrosse career at the collegiate level. I am looking for opportunities that will continue to challenge me in both lacrosse and my intended major, Criminology.
