Emily Sitkowski, of Elk Grove Village, Ill., signed a letter of intent to play for the St. Louis College of Pharmacy 2020-21 women's soccer team on National Signing Day on Nov. 13.
Sitkowski will graduate in May from Elk Grove High School. The 5'5" midfielder will play her final season of high school soccer this spring as a member of the Elk Grove High School Grenadiers.
In addition to high school soccer, Sitkowski plays for the Eclipse Select Soccer team. She was named All-Conference MSL in 2017 and was an ECNL member from 2016-18. In 2016, she was the President's Cup leading goal scorer, and was a member of the 2018 East Conference Champion team.
Head STLCOP Coach Jack Jamieson is excited to add Sitkowski on his Eutectic 2020 roster, adding that she will make an immediate impact to the program.
"Emily is not only an outstanding soccer player, but also an excellent student. She will be a role model and an immediate starting defensive player for our team," Jamieson said. "Using her ability to read the opposing teams' offense, she will help solidify the defensive end of the field with her individual skill, talent, and team concept. Most importantly, Emily is the type of player who will make other players around her better. She is going to be a great teammate. We are extremely pleased to welcome Emily to our total community."
Sitkowski will join the STLCOP roster when she arrives on campus in the fall of 2020. She plans to pursue a degree in Pharmacy.
