Battery Lightning's- Broking commits!


Congratulations Sam Broking ’13 as she verbally committed today (9/10) to accept an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Albany.  Sam will be joining one of the best programs in the Northeast and a perennial NCAA Division 1 top tier/high RPI program. 



Sam came to us from the Lady Lions organization and this past season (Fall ’11 & Summer ’12) and played with the Battery Lightning Elite team as well as the Gold squad at the Colorado Fireworks.  She needed to be placed on the “recruiting fast track” being a Junior with no prior exposure experience.  Through her hard work, dedication and persistence Sam took full advantage of her opportunity.  In the end she had a few very good options to consider before narrowing it down to Albany and they not only picked up an exceptional player but an excellent student and role model for our younger players within our program.  Coach Reardon took a long hard look at Sam against top competition at events such as the Colorado Fireworks and Stop DWI and she clearly did not disappoint. 
Congratulations Sam!!!
