ROTUNNO RIGHT AT HOME

In just her second year wielding a lacrosse stick for Mooney, Sophia Rotunno has already become the defensive backbone of her team, and her journey is just getting started. Sophia, a sophomore, didn’t just join the varsity squad—she stormed it, quickly establishing herself as a standout player despite her relative inexperience in the sport.

Sophia’s knack for dominating the defensive end is evident in her stats. With a whopping 69 ground balls and 40 caused turnovers this season, she’s not just participating; she’s setting the pace. But don’t let her defensive prowess fool you—Sophia is no one-trick pony. She’s also proving herself as a rising offensive threat, netting 13 goals and dishing out 4 assists. Each game, her confidence grows, and her ability to impact the game on both ends of the field becomes more pronounced.

Athleticism and competitiveness run deep in the Rotunno family. Sophia’s sisters were all stars in their high school sports, and it’s clear that the family’s competitive edge has profoundly influenced Sophia. This intrinsic drive makes her a force to be reckoned with on the field, as she channels this familial spirit into every check, sprint, and shot.

Looking ahead, the future is as bright as a championship trophy for Sophia and the Mooney lacrosse program. With two more years left in her high school career, the potential for growth—both for her and her team—is immense. If her first two years are any indication, the lacrosse fields at Mooney are going to see a lot of Sophia leading charges, snatching victories, and maybe, just maybe, rewriting the school’s record books. As she continues to develop her skills and further gel with her teammates, the sky is the limit for this young athlete whose career is as promising as a clear day.
