Alle Dunbar '17 Recruiting Profile

I am a very “ball hungry”, active goalie. I am always willing to play defense or pick off feeds. I find free positions to be one of my specialties because I’m confident I can make the save, giving us back possession of the ball. While I did start on my high school varsity team as a freshman and I was recruited to my U19 club team while I was still eligible for their U15 team, at that point I was not the leader I think I’ve become over the past two years. I really believe I’ve come into my own this year, both as a goaltender and a leader. I’m much more comfortable directing the defense & speaking as a leader of the team. This season, My team made it to the State Semi-finals and lost in a back and forth game (10-8). I was named first team all-conference, first team all-state and was elected team captain for next season. I’m eager for the coming year and the challenges it will present. I’m even more excited about the journey I plan on taking in college both in the classroom and on the field.  

In terms of academics, I’ve also grown as I’ve learned what I need to do to succeed. I was diagnosed with dyslexia in 4th grade and have worked extremely hard to stay on track. I’ve learned important lessons like being focused, managing my time, keeping on top of things & being prepared. These are lessons that that I expect will apply for a lifetime. My high school is a very competitive school,  both in terms of sports and academics, which has made my high school experience challenging and fun, but also a lot of hard work.
