Emma Pherson '20 Recruiting Profile

I strive to be a student athlete majoring in business and going to law school to become a corporate lawyer. I am an honors student who spends most of my time studying and being organized. I have the pleasure of going to Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where I am getting an outstanding, rigorous education at a Christ-centered college preparatory school to prepare me for college and a career while playing lacrosse. I am in multiple clubs, including L.I.F.E, where I can openly talk about my faith, and the World Language Club, where I traveled to Quebec City and Montreal to learn more about the culture and speak Latin and French.

I started lacrosse very late and had to catch up to all of my teammates stick skills. I put in lots of time in effort because I am a determined and dedicated player. Lacrosse is my passion. I am a class AA all-section player. I spend the spring playing on my high school’s girls lacrosse team where I play low attack. However during the summer, along with working as lifeguard, I play for Intrepid Lacrosse Club’s 2020 team, where I am a starting draw-taking midfielder. I just started playing for Intrepid in the summer of 2017, and it did not take long for me to become a part of the Intrepid family. I am a good team player and I am very coachable. I pride myself in being a team leader and making sure the needs of the team are met. I am fast on my feet and am not intimidated by other players. 

I am looking forward to being able to grow and mature as a lacrosse player and meet and talk to you in more detail for you to get to know me.

Thank you,

Emma
