Sophie Kopec ledger:

High School: Northview High School, GA

Graduation Year: 2017

Position: Midfield

College Choice: The College of William and Mary

Club Affiliation: Midwestern Force 2017 Black

Lacrosse Honors: All-Star Max Exposure Camp (2014), All-State Team 2 (2014), Offensive MVP (2014), Team Georgia Team 2 (2014), Team Titan Award (2014)

What will you major in/study? Undecided

Why did you choose W & M? “I chose William and Mary because it is the perfect fit for me. The school’s academics are phenomenal, and to be able to play lacrosse under the amazing coaching staff is so exciting. The team welcomed me like I was a teammate, and it all felt natural.”

Outlook for 2015 HS season? “Last year we made it to the Elite 8 in playoffs. Our coaches got fired, so it’s going to be a whole new dynamic on the team, but I’m looking forward to it. We have some great athletes and the team is really close, so I think it’s going to be a great year.”

Thank You: “I’d like to thank my parents. They took me all over the country these past few years so that I could tour schools and see what fit. They never doubted me once throughout this entire process and always had my back. Also, I’d like to thank the best coach/friend I could ever have, Brooke Magnuson. Without her I would still be playing rec ball, dreaming of playing in college…not making it happen. I love you all!”

Other schools considered: Penn, Dartmouth, JMU, Villanova
