much changed in the intervening seven months.
"One of five siblings born to Stephen and Marguerite,
Stephenie LaGrossa is the youngest and only girl of the
family to grow up in Briarcliff, Glenolden, a suburb of
Philadelphia. She graduated from Archbishop Prendergast
High School, where she played varsity lacrosse, field hockey
and swimming. After graduating, she attended Temple University
in Philadelphia before transferring to Monmouth University
in Long Branch, New Jersey. She played Division One Lacrosse
at both universities and was a four-year starter. She received
her Bachelor of Science degree in business administration
with concentrations in marketing and management. She currently
works as a territory sales representative for a pharmaceutical
sales company and bartends part-time.
 LaGrossa enjoys yoga, Pilates, water sports and going to the beach. She describes
herself as relentless, persuasive, extremely competitive, dramatic and friendly.
She is most proud of being offered athletic and academic scholarships to two
different universities and purchasing her own home when she was 23 years old.
An avid lacrosse player in college, LaGrossa won many awards signifying her outstanding
athleticism and leadership. At Monmouth University, she was the team captain
her senior year, made the NEC Academic Honor Roll and the Dean's List. In addition,
LaGrossa was a three-time NEC All-Conference selection, NEC Scholar/Athlete Award
recipient and Female Athlete of the Year Nominee.
LaGrossa is currently an active member of the Monmouth University Blue and White

Tom's River, New Jersey. Her birth date is December 6, 1979."

January 26, 2005: Jeff Probst's
Palau pre-game comments on
the contestants, from the official S10 CBS
site:
"Stephenie's... you know, good
looking, athletic, strong. From what she says she's very loyal
until you cross her, and then she'll cut your throat. Perfect
candidate for Survivor! And let's just hope she lasts a while.
Cause she could be fun. And, also, if she could get to the
individual part of the game, she's tough. I mean there, there's
a lot of guys who'd be afraid to go up against her in a challenge."

January 4, 2005: "My niece described
her as extremely athletic, strong and 'ripped almost like a
man.' Said she has 'killer abs' for a girl. She also stated
that she couldn’t weigh more than 100lbs and is petite
and strong...they told him that she lost 14 lbs while
she was away. Didn't sound like much to me at first, but considering
she is a tiny, muscular girl, who knows?"
