Loving the community and supportive energy from the people she has met so far, Emily Schlessinger is super excited to play Division III field hockey at Fairleigh Dickinson University next fall. Schlesinger says that she will miss her teammates who have also been her biggest inspirations. “My teammates have been my biggest inspiration. A lot of us have been playing together since elementary school and it was really great ending our senior seasons on such a high note. We have all had our fair share of odds held against us and it has been really rewarding to all grow up, support each other, and conquer together. I’m also really grateful for having such a supportive family who has also pushed me to do my best (and thank you for driving me to tournaments in the middle of nowhere!)” she said.
