Gabrielle Manzano '25 Recruiting Profile

I believe in good leadership and I bring zest with me on the field to help my team be more cohesive and work together.  It's important to me to encourage my teammates through tough games and seek solutions to improve.  I am a versatile player and can move the ball well and have been known to have a valuable role as a utility player.  I currently play outside back but also play midfielder.  I am a strong, tough player who doesn't back down to a challenge to defend our team.  I have gained the respect of my coaches, my team and even my opponents.  I work out in the gym or at home strength training and building cardio capacity so that I can be prepared to be strong for our defensive line.  I believe a strong defensive line can win the game just as a strong offensive line can.  

I’m a creative artistic scholar who enjoys learning and trying new things both on and off the field.  I am an outgoing person who has the talent for building personal rapport to bring people together on an off the field.  I get along with everyone wherever I go and am a leader to those around me and help out where I am needed.  When my classmates and teammates are struggling, I encourage them to make good choices.  I have an interest to major in the field of dentistry and/or business.
