Sacred Heart University continues to rack in tristate verbal commitments under new coach Jon Basti.

The latest comes from a high school program that continually racks up verbal commitments of its own.

We’re talking about St. Anthony’s High School in South Huntington, N.Y., where 2015 attackman/midfielder Connor O’Reilly has decided on Sacred Heart, as first reported by Joe Lombardi on Oct. 19 on LaxLessons.com’s Lacrosse Insider premium coverage section. 

The 6-foot-4, 185-pound O’Reilly is a righty who is equally effective as a shooter and dodger.
