Ina Patten '26 Recruiting Profile

I have loved soccer for as long as I can remember. Ultimately, my goal as an athlete is to become the most improved version of the player I currently am, ensuring that I am constantly bettering myself with each day. I aspire to play at the highest level possible (NCAA 1) and am certain that my work ethic, discipline, and teamwork will assist me in attaining this goal. On the field, I am a hardworking and focused player. As a person, many would characterize me as helpful and empathetic. Additionally, I place a large importance on academics and am capable of managing my time well between school and soccer. I have interests in subjects including Science and Math, and am leaning towards pursuing higher education in these areas, possibly in Engineering or Health Science. 

I currently play for Lakeshore SC on the FU17 PLSJQ (AAAA) Team. Two summers ago, we placed second in the Coupe du Québec Provincials following a narrow 1-0 loss. This year, our goal is to qualify for Canada Soccer's PDP Championship. Throughout the years, I have also been selected to play at CDR (Centre développement régional/ Regional Development Center) and PIR (Programme d'identification régional/ Regional Identification Program), both of which are training programs composed of selected players in the province of Québec.
