Trilogy Veteran's Day Classic

2028

The 2028 team had their most challenging outing to date, but the growth this team showed and the experience that they gained this Fall will serve them well moving forward. Colby Etzkorn stood strong again in the goal, which paired nicely with Zach Freiling's strong play on Defense. Allen Wu made plays all over the middle of the field, while the pairing of Connor Albert and Thatcher Aton worked together nicely on the offensive side.

2027

The 2027 team played hard all day, coming up just short of going 3-0, with a tie and two other hard-fought losses. The team was led by strong play on the defensive side by Brady Shim; who continues to impress his coaches. Thomas Koenke made plays on the offensive side of the field as both a midfielder and an attackman.

2026 Navy

The 2026 Navy team highlighted the weekend, winning the tournament with a record of 5-0! The team proved that they can win games with an up-tempo pace and a slow, deliberate pace too. The team was carried by the strong play of Liam Butler all over the field, including at the faceoff X. Owen Harris made save after save to clinch some very tight games as well. The strongest individual performance of the day was had by Devin Dzwolak, as he went off in the championship game, with 4 goals in a 6-2 win over SJ Shamrocks. His performance single-handedly propelled the team to their championship win.

2026 Blue

The 2026 Blue group learned a lot on Sunday, as they had a challenging schedule in front of them. Eric Wiley and Nick Stivala played well on Attack. Jackson Jones, Will Morgan, and Jonah Park had strong performances in the midfield. On the defensive side of the field, Logan Gedroic impressed with the long stick, as did Sean Currie. Derek Logan made a number of impressive saves and cleared the ball with laser-like precision.

2025 Navy

The 2025 Navy group was led on Offense by Joey Smith, who had help from Christian LaRusso and Brandon Lopko. The defense once again turned in a strong performance, with all of their longsticks playing well; and even getting involved in the offensive production during transition play. 

2025 Blue

2025 Blue continued to improve in their last outing of the Fall, capping the day off with a very hard-fought one goal loss to Millburn. Rafferty Harris played all over the field and made plays at every position. Ryan Swan changed the game between the boxes, and made opposing teams lives difficult on both sides of the field. Ryan Ward created havoc on the defensive end of the field. 

2024 Navy

2024 Navy had a strong showing at their final Fall event, winning their 3 round robin games en route to the Championship game. Cole Heiser and Colin Vannais led the charge on offense; while Cole Blum made it easy for the team to play make-it-take-it at the faceoff X. Jake Simkins continued imposing his will on opposing offensive players; helping his goalie Alex Guardino to 2 shutouts on the day.

2024 Blue

2024 Blue had their most challenging schedule to date, as they continue to grow and learn as a group. Sol Chung was outstanding between the pipes once again, as he continues to expand his game. He had support on the defensive side of the field from Nayan Bajaj and his non-stop motor. The offensive side of the field was Kevin Gorelick's space to shine as he impressed with his ability to initiate on offense.

2023

The 2023 group had their strongest showing of the Fall as they went 3-0, including a win over a strong Jersey Thunder group to end the day. This performance left the team one allowed goal out of the championship game, via the tiebreaker. Both goalies, Clark Norway and Ben Blum, had incredible strong performances; not just saving the ball, but clearing the ball as well. The offensive trio of Patrick Ryan, Mark Ruggiero and Joe Vricella kept producing clutch goals together.

2022 Blue

2022 Blue also had a strong showing to end their Fall season, as they went 2-1, with their only loss coming by a goal to a very strong 91 Tri-State team. Ty Manno impressed not only with his defense, but also with his leadership on the field and in team huddles. Nolan Scott and Ian Staniec made plays across the middle of the field and helped spark transition offense, in addition to initiating dodges in settled offense.

NAL Fall Invitational

2023 White

23 White played at the highest level against the best teams in the country at NAL this weekend. The defense was extremely aggressive and imposing. Trey Brown and Beau Kemler made their presence felt while Gabe Stypul was all over the field. On offense, they saw dynamic play from Attackman Ryan Waldman. Ethan Krauss was a force at Attack and coming out of the box for Midfield shifts. 

2022 White

Seamus Schofield had a huge weekend winning a vast majority of the faceoffs for the 22's. Zach Laperriere and Carson Brown played with great athleticism on the defensive end. The anchors of the defense were Nick Decandia and Will Erikson leading with communication. Nate Sears showed strong attack play putting the ball in the net multiple times on the day.
