To start off our commits this year, Kelly Carver committed to Baldwin Wallace to play division 3 soccer. This year Kelly was our starting goalie for the soccer team and helped the team win the sectional championship. She plans to study pre health. Kelly’s favorite part of the school is the coach and the campus. Although that is her favorite part of the school she is most excited for the soccer season. Outside of school and soccer she goes to the gym to lift and plays the violin

Abby Cannon just committed to play division three college soccer at Ithaca college. She plans on studying Speech-language and Pathology. Abby picked Ithaca because of the distance from home, the size, and team dynamic was perfect for her. Her favorite part about the school is the scenery. She is most excited about playing with her team. In her free time she loves to drive and hang out with friends.

The next committed athlete is Cooper Rossano. Cooper committed to UAlbany. He is going to play division one baseball there. He plans to study business. Cooper picked UAlbany because he likes the coaches and the team. He is most excited about training and the baseball season. Outside of school and baseball he likes to chill with his friends and go to Moe’s (also adding that he thinks it’s better than chipotle). 

Ella Wesolowski committed to Mississippi State University to play division 1 softball. She is currently undecided but is thinking maybe Criminal Justice or Sports Medicine. She picked Mississippi State because of the family-based culture, and the many similarities that my coaches and future teammates have with me. She said she felt at home when she first went on campus. Her favorite part about the school is the “smaller” campus, but big town environment. All the buildings are closer together, specifically the athletic buildings, and she can walk everywhere she needs to go. Of course she is excited about the school but she is most excited about playing softball there. Outside of school and softball she is a coach and she loves to learn new foods to cook and what is good to fuel her body. 

Luca Buscaglia committed to play division one soccer at Niagara University.  

He plans on studying accounting. He picked Niagara University because it’s close to home and he really enjoyed the campus, the coach, and the players.

Mitchell Dates just committed to Utica University to play division two football. He plans on studying physical therapy. Mitchell picked this school because “all the coaches are great, they offered me, beautiful campus, accelerated doctorate of physical therapy program”.

Outside of school he likes to workout and get ready for the college season.

Arjun Pindiprolu just committed to play division one tennis at St. Bonaventure. He plans on studying Biology. He picked St. Bonaventure because it is a small school and it feels like a family. The pre-med program is great as well and the labs are all taught by professors. His favorite part of the school is the basketball team. He is most excited about playing for a team in the A-10 that can make the NCAA tournament. In his free time he likes to go to the gym, play video games, and watch a ton of sports such as basketball, tennis, football, and hockey. One more thing about Arjun is that he is a massive Bills fan.

Junior, Gianna Tuzzalino committed to play division one soccer at University of Kentucky. She isn’t 100% sure what she wants to study but she is thinking about physical therapy. She picked University of Kentucky because of the location, variety of majors that the school offers, and the coaching staff. Her favorite part of the school was the campus as well as the sports facilities and academic resources. She is most excited for the new atmosphere that comes with being at college, as well as meeting new people, and playing soccer at a higher level. Outside of soccer and school she likes to read, run, and spend time with my friends and family.

Junior Zoey Griffin, just committed to do division one swimming at UConn. She plans to study Allied Health. Zoey picked UConn because she loved the atmosphere of the athletic community at UConn as well as how academically driven the student-athletes are.
