Alexis started playing lacrosse in second grade in Virginia, and played for the youth program in Northern Virginia (Tribe) until high school. She moved to Lyme prior to her sophomore year of high school and has been a member of the varsity team ever since.
Along the way Alexis has racked up quite a few achievements. She was a Scholar Athlete Award recipient in her sophomore, junior, and senior year. As a junior she was named Second Team All-Shoreline Conference and played for Team Connecticut in the USA Lacrosse National Tournament. As a senior Alexis scored 61 goals, giving 100 for her career, and helped lead the team to the CIAC State Championship Game. Alexis was also named First Team All-Shoreline, First Team All-State and First Team Academic All-State.
Alexis contributes her success on the field to being determined, working hard, and looking for ways to always be improving. Lacrosse has become a year-round focus for her as she puts in several hours practicing at home individually and with her father. In addition to that she has attended numerous camps, clinics, prospect days, plays in both summer and winter lacrosse leagues, and also runs Cross Country in the Fall and Track in the winter to build speed and endurance. Alexis also credits the college prospect days with exposing her to playing under high stress situations alongside other highly talented players. She also added, "It also helps to have a loving team and supportive coaches because they built my foundation for success. You also really need to have a good time playing."
Here are some other achievements Alexis has garnered:
High Honors 2021-2024
Presidential Education Award 2023
CIAC Leadership Program 2023-24
Scholar Athlete Award 2022-24
Graduate- US Coast Guard Academy Summer Program
Women in STEM Scholarship 2024
National Honor Society 2023-24
Alexis plans to continue her academic and athletic career at Wheaton College in Norton MA and will major in environmental science with a minor in animal behavior. She hopes to take full advantage of the many opportunities at the college, including studying abroad to work with animals, internships, as well as professor led trips. Following her bachelors, she will pursue a masters degree and hopes to work as a wildlife conservationist.
Scarlette grew up in Old Lyme and is currently a sophomore at Williston Northhampton. She is on pace for a tremendous career at one of the top prep programs in New England. After just her first year, she was named All NEPSAC. With 66 goals through 13 games, she's posted 119 tallies in only a short time with the team. Importantly, she's helped her team to an 12-1 mark in the 2024 campaign. In the classroom she has a 4.0 GPA while carrying AP and Honors level courses.
What's made Scarlette successful? Hardwork and practice. Building her foundation through the Ticks program, she works on her skills two hours a day. She compliments her offensive game with focused effort winning the ball back and creating turnovers. She cites the Ticks program with teaching her the game, but also giving her the confidence and determination to play at one of the highest levels of the game.
She plays with Dewlax Navy also and recently was named to the CONNY All American team for the summer. She has the goal of taking her game to the next level in Division 1.
Scarlette, congratulations on your achievements to-date and representing our Ticks program.
