Sophia Smith

Class of 2028 goalkeeper from Chicago, attending St. Ignatius College Prep, and will start competing for Rise Field Hockey upon my season's completion. As a goalkeeper, I take pride in being a vocal leader, organizing my defense, communicating early, and competing in high-pressure situations. I am a two-time defensive player of the year and bring quick reactions, strong positioning, and composure to the goal. I am also a multi-sport athlete, competing in field hockey and soccer, which has helped develop my athleticism, quickness, and competitiveness. Academically, I am a strong student in rigorous Honors/AP classes, and am looking for a college where I can continue to grow academically and athletically. I am highly motivated to compete at the collegiate level and find the right fit.
