Senior Spotlight: No. 16 Sophia Turchetta

Leading up to the 2020 Dartmouth women's lacrosse home opener on Feb. 22 against Boston University, let's meet the nine members of the Class of 2020.

Today's Senior… Sophia Turchetta.

DartmouthSports.com: What is your favorite place on campus?
Sophia Turchetta: The HOP - I love the buff chicken quesadillas and I look forward to them every week.

DS: If you could swap places with one teammate, who would it be and why?
ST: I would have to say Polly. She's so good at art and I would love to see what a day in the mind of Polly is like.

DS: What has been your best on-field memory thus far in your Dartmouth career?
ST: Beating Penn my junior year is one of my favorite on-field memories. It was such a beautiful day; we were on their home field and it was their senior day. We were the underdog and came back after being down at halftime. All Ivy games have a certain energy about them, but that day was especially crazy and fun.

DS: How is Hanover different or similar to where you grew up?
ST: I grew up in a really small town in Massachusetts that has nothing going on. My high school was really small and my town in general is a bubble. Hanover is super similar to this as there are not that many stores or things going on, but that's what makes it special.

DS: What are your post-Dartmouth plans?
ST: I am going to be working in New York City at Lunar Solar Group!

DS: What is your hidden talent or something that someone might not know about you?
ST: I grew up playing boys lacrosse with my three older brothers because my dad coached their teams and he needed players. We didn't have a girls team until I was in 7th grade.

DS: Do you have a nickname on your team? Who gave it to you and why?
ST: Most people just call me Soph.

DS: What are you going to miss most about Dartmouth after you graduate?
ST: Being a part of a team and getting to hang out with 35 other people every single day who I love is definitely something I will miss a lot. The memories we share are irreplaceable and I know that we will all be life-long friends.
