Alexis Crossley has verbal commitment to UNH

Crossley is presently in her Grade 11 year at Shattuck St. Mary’s Prep School in Minnesota. At 5’9, she plays defence for the Shattuck U19 team and carries a 3.90 GPA in the classroom. Her plan is to take sciences and eventually enrol in the Dalhousie School of Dentistry in Halifax.

Crossley is expected to play a key role in the upcoming Canada Games for Team Nova Scotia in female hockey and is also hoping to play in the Team Canada U18 hockey program in 2011.

The coaching staff at UNH were very keen on her character and ability after seeing her play numerous times throughout the last two years and meeting her at an unofficial visit on campus in Durham, New Hampshire in November. Crossley will officially sign her letter of intent at UNH in November, during her senior year at Shattuck St. Mary’s.

 ”I had a lot of interest from about a dozen schools and narrowed it down to Boston University and UNH. In the end”, commented Crossley, “I felt most comfortable at UNH and really enjoyed the people, facilities, and community there. The team is looking ahead to winning a National Championship and I want to be a key part of that. Overall it is the right fit for me and it is an added bonus that it is also close to home so my family can visit more often!”

Her father Brad, the head coach and director of hockey operations of the Dartmouth Major Midget Ice Dawgs calls it a “purrr-fect match”.
