Standout soccer players, friends and teammates, Sarah Beaulieu, Hannah Dawicki and Liz Dognazzi are all headed to D1 colleges in the fall. But that doesn’t mean they’re going to take it easy until then.

Old Rochester Regional senior Sarah Beaulieu of Rochester and Tabor Academy senior Hannah Dawicki of Fairhaven first began playing soccer together as kids in the Mariner Youth Soccer program. Dognazzi, Dawicki’s classmate and a Dedham native, started playing soccer young as well and stayed with it.

“I’ve been really bad at every other sport,” she joked.

The three came together when they all got a place on the Elite Club National League’s FC Boston Scorpions team.

Beaulieu, who plays defense, and Dognazzi, who plays midfield and defense, joined first.

“We convinced Hannah to come junior year. Then we all got in the carpool,” Dognazzi said.

Being part of the Scorpions means dedicating countless hours to practice and travel as the team plays with other Elites across the country. They’ve traveled to Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, Washington, Colorado, California and Florida, to name a few states.

“It’s a lot of soccer. We all love it though,” said Dawicki, a midfielder.

There aren’t many times when the girls aren’t playing. All three are also on their respective high school teams.

“Once that season is over we (Dawicki and Dognazzi) switch over to the club season and bring Sarah in,” Dawicki said.

Their dedication to the game got them attention from D1 schools, and all committed to their first choice by junior year. On Feb. 4, the three athletes signed their National Letter of Intent with their chosen schools.

Beaulieu signed with UMass Amherst.

“It was my number one school,” she said. “When they gave me an offer I went with it.”

Dognazzi picked High Point University in North Carolina, a school that is close enough to New England by plane, but far enough south to avoid the winter weather. Most importantly, the team stood out to her.

“I really liked the coach,” she said. “I ended up falling in love with the team.”

St. John’s University in Queens, New York will be Dawicki’s home for the next four years. Her former coach took her to a number of games at the school when she was younger and she knows the assistant coach.

“I went and visited and loved it,” she said.

Despite their successes on the field, the friends say they don’t plan on playing soccer professionally after they graduate from college. Instead they’re all looking ahead to other careers, and the colleges they picked will help them with that. Beaulieu plans to study kinesiology, Dawicki communications and Dognazzi psychology.

Until then, they have more playing to do. The girls continue to have regular practices in Boston and games through the spring.

“It gets you ready for college,” said Dawicki.
