    By Chris Goldberg TopLaxRecruits.com, Posted 11/12/22 WILMINGTON, Del. – Team Money (PA) 2024 surprised even its own players with its success today at the Liberty National Elite Fall Showcase at Chase Fieldhouse. “It’s awesome, I was really not expecting us to be this successful,” said Nathan Campisi, a 2024 defenseman from Cumberland Valley. “We just put it together.” Campisi meant that his team had not played a fall tournament and had minimal practice since the summer when the club focuses most of its energy. But Team Money dominated its three games in the 2023/24 division, claiming three wins by a...

    By Chris Goldberg TopLaxRecruits.com, Posted 10/31/22 CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. – It’s hard to ignore the dominance shown by the Mid Penn Blaze (PA). The stats are indeed impressive: a 3-0 record and a 44-8 goal differential Sunday at the Victory Events Fall Classic at the Proving Grounds and in the past two tournaments the Blaze is 7-0 with a 109-18 advantage. Mid Penn doesn’t draw from a traditional area of lacrosse; all the players are from Central Pennsylvania and few are from the same high school. But the players say the team’s camaraderie is the biggest reason for the success. “I...

    10/23/2022 By TopLaxRecruits By Chris Goldberg TopLaxRecruits.com, Posted 10/23/22 Dante Avicolli still relishes his days as a youth lacrosse player – especially since his stick skills as a young attackman have helped him as a high school goalie. “One of my strengths is clearing and also handling with my stick,” said Avicolli, a 2024 from Campolindo High, east of Oakland, CA. “I started as an attackman with the U-9 age group and that helped me develop stick skills a lot when I became a goalie. I can clear the ball downfield for fast breaks.” Avicolli, who plays club for the Pinnacle Aces,...

    By Chris Goldberg TopLaxRecruits.com, Posted 7/19/22 NEW CASTLE, Del. – Enzo Grieco was pleasantly surprised to play on a Liberty National Elite showcase team Friday that was unselfish. “My teammates were very good at getting open,” said the 2024 attackman from Mars Area (PA) and CW Elite. “Normally in the showcase setting there is a lot of 1-on-1 dodging, but my teammates were getting open and working well together. That makes it easy to move the ball around.” Grieco’s all-around skills at attack flourished in the Victory Events showcase and for his efforts he was named the MVP of an...

    By Chris Goldberg TopLaxRecruits.com, Posted 7/17/22 Annapolis Hawk attackman Tyler Stewart (Archbishop Spalding) figured his defender would think he was passing when he came from X late in overtime of the 2024 AA title game with True Ohio. “We had the extra man and we had done the same play over and over again so I knew he’d bite on the fake pass so I faked it and took that opportunity and went for the goal,” Stewart said. Stewart (2G, 1A) indeed used that chance to garner the game-winner with 30 seconds left in the OT. True Ohio had rebounded...
