Megan Woods, a junior at McDonogh (Owings Mills, Md.), has verbally committed to play women's lacrosse for Campbell University.
Woods plays defensive midfield and becomes the 14 player from the Eagles to commit to a Division I program. Six seniors and eight juniors have either signed or verbally committed to play in college.
McDonogh is the two-time defending POWERADE FAB 50 National Champions and is expected to start the season in the Top 5 when the preseason rankings are released March 6.
ESPNHS: What other school’s did you consider?
Megan Woods: "I considered Fairfield, Florida Southern, Rollins and Hofstra."
ESPNHS: What made Campbell such an attractive choice?
MW: "I choose Campbell because once I got there I loved it: the beautiful campus, the brick buildings, the coach, the location, the people, the nice facilities, the Chick-Fil-A in the cafeteria, and many more things!"
ESPNHS: What surprised you about the recruiting process?
MW: "The speed of the recruiting process surprised me. I didn't realize how fast it would go and how fast people would start committing."
ESPNHS: What was the most important question you asked college coaches during the process?
MW: "I think the most important question I asked the coaches was do you plan on staying. If I love a coach then I would like to play with them all four years with them not intending to go to a different school."
"Also, I asked coaches if they could change one thing about the school what would they change. This was an interesting question for the coaches to answer."
ESPNHS: What one piece of advice would you give to other players who are just starting on the recruiting process?
MW: "I would just say visit colleges early and know what type of school you want to attend like small versus big or warm weather versus cold weather. Then they should start emailing lots of schools that they would potentially be interested in attending. It helps to email lots of schools so you have options."
ESPNHS: Is there anything about the recruiting process that you think could change that would have made it easier or less stressful for you?
MW: "I think it would make it easier if there wasn't as much pressure from other athletes and coaches. I felt as though I had a deadline in which I needed to commit to keep my other offers a option for me."
