![]() As we wind down this 2024 spring season, we would like to recognize our college committed players by learning a bit about their recruitment journeys. Hopefully, their stories will provide some insight to help anyone aspiring to play at the collegiate level. Last August, Gabi committed to the admissions process at Wellesley College. In December, she was officially accepted and is excited to join the team as part of the Class of 2028. ![]() For those players aiming for high academic schools, the "committed to the admissions process" phrase is often used because the player still has to be officially accepted to the school on her own merits. It is a "supported" process where the coach is able to interact with an admissions liaison to address any questions that may come up from the application review and resolve them while communicating with the prospective student-athlete. Wellesley College was her ideal choice because of the academic rigor and location just 30 minutes outside of Boston. She liked the idea of having a true campus feel while being close to a large, historical city like Boston. Though it is a relatively small school, there are many resources for students and the ability to take classes from other nearby universities such as MIT, Babson, Olin, and more. She plans to major in Data Science or Economics. Advice she would give to aspiring collegiate student-athletes is to build a relationship with the field hockey coach. Gabi not only talked about any field hockey updates but mentioned other things to give the coach more of her personality like something she did over the weekend or something she was looking forward to. Gabi would like to thank her parents, high school coaches (Coach Ng & Coach Katie), all of the Impact coaches, Coach Callie (Wellesley Head Coach), and the many teammates she has had. We're super proud of Gabi and her hard work; we look forward to following her career this fall.
