Alana Samek '24 Recruiting Profile

I am very dedicated to playing my best for my team.  My dedication is seen through the fact that I practice lacrosse every day, I want to be the best I can be. I also use weight lifting and speed and agility training to try and become the best all-around athlete I can be.  My strength is my desire to win. I use my speed to put pressure on the other team. I like to push the ball and make the defense make mistakes where I can score or find my teammates that can capitalize.  I play aggressively as an attacker and midfielder and am not scared to play with physicality. As a midfielder, I am often used in transition and clearing it after a change of possession, even if that means running the ball down when no teammates are open to make clean passes to. I have a hard shot, and I am predominantly left-handed but can use my right as well.  My goal is to make those around me better my setting screens, giving good feeds, drawing defenders out of position and allowing my teammates to take advantage of those opportunities.
