A senior on the U of L field hockey team, Elisa Garcia continues to play the sport that she has loved since she started back at home in Santiago, Chile. Evidently, the same place that inspired her current teammates in giving her the nickname “Chile.”
Although before they even had the chance of meeting her, Garcia had faced many ups and downs through her journey from Chile to playing Division I field hockey in the United States.
Garcia was the youngest in a fairly big family where her passion for field hockey was sparked when she was only seven years old watching her older sister Josafina play the sport.
