Chloe Herghelegiu – Elon University (Lacrosse)
Major: Biology & Psychology
Final list of colleges: Elon, Cincinnati, William & Mary, American University, Johns Hopkins
Reasons for choosing Elon: “I loved the culture of the school. The overall layout is what I was looking for. I didn’t want a huge school. I wanted something comfortable where I could actually build relationships with the other students and teachers. I loved the coaches there. Just the relationship I built with the coaches right off the bat was something that was really important to me. It’s something I fell in love with.”
What was the progression that led you to competing in lacrosse at the collegiate level? “I started playing lacrosse in third grade, and I started playing goalie in fifth grade. I fell in love with it. I fell in love with the family aspect of being part of a team and being part of something bigger than myself. I started playing club in fifth grade as well, and that kind of progressed into the college level, and that prepared me for the next step. It’s always been something I wanted to do. I’ve always wanted to play a sport in college, and I finally found something that I fell in love with and something I wanted to pursue.”
Coach Amalie Kreitman says: “This is my second year as head coach. When I first started, I was head coach for jayvee, and that’s when I met Chloe. She was our starting goalie. She’s just a strong athlete. She has a lot of willpower and is very coachable on and off the field. She works incredibly hard, she loves the position of goalie and will do anything to get better at it.”
