It’s the busiest time of year for major D-I commitments in the nation’s No. 1 hotspot for lacrosse, the NY/NJ/CT tristate region. Get caught up right here, right now. Having an older brother who has gone through the Division I lacrosse recruiting process proved to be a big benefit for Kevin Lindley. The rising sophomore at […]

UMass-bound Peter Lindley (fourth from left), with seven fellow 2014 commits from Connecticut power Darien, from left: Kyle Cornell (Bryant), Phil Huffard (Yale), Owen Koorbusch (Rhodes), John Reed (Bucknell), Kyle Gifford (Washington & Lee), Sam Meyjes (Haverford) and Brad McCarthy (Colby).  End the season in a pile. Simply stated, that’s the annual goal at Darien […]

It would be hard to say where Peter Dearth is more valuable on the lacrosse field. Offensively, the sophomore at Connecticut power Ridgefield uses his quickness, athleticism and ability to shoot on the run to create scoring opportunities. Defensively, Dearth’s physical attributes — coupled with a strong lacrosse IQ — allow him to get takeaways […]

It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. The 2013 Wilton Warriors were living proof of just that. Wilton won the Connecticut Class M state title after starting the season 1-4. One of the catalysts to the 17th-seeded unlikely run to glory was the play of attackman Brendan Devane. Now a senior, Devane will […]

Lucas Jackson is not only efficient when it comes to getting groundballs, but handling the ball once he gets it. “I can run an offense off a clear or break, and I can play solid defense when behind the cage at X, regardless of the size of my opponent,” he said. It’s those attributes, along […]

Sometimes it comes down to location, quality of academic programs, campus size or athletic facilities. For Will Perry, the destination to commit came down to something far more simpler — and probably far more important, too. “Providence just felt right,” the sophomore midfielder at Greenwich High School (Conn.) said. Perry’s commitment to Providence College was first […]

You would have a tough time arguing whether Ian Burgoyne is more valuable to the Darien High School (Conn.) boys lacrosse team on either offense or defense. That’s because Burgoyne is the protoypical two-way midfielder. “I enjoy playing defensive midfield just as much offense,” he said. It’s that kind of versatility — coupled with the […]

Micky Carbone’s importance to Connecticut power Ridgefield High School’s lacrosse team was evident right from the start of this past season. The junior midfielder scored three goals in the Tigers’ 10-5 win at Greenwich on April 3. He went on to finish the season with 13 goals and seven assists as Ridgefield finished 17-4. Carbone’s […]

Quinnipiac has copped a verbal commitment from one of Connecticut’s highest-scoring attackman: rising senior Kevin Cop of Southington. Cop compiled quite a stat line last season: 52 goals, 28 assists and 80 points. Kevin Cop didn’t have to look far to find a perfect college fit. The rising senior verbally committed yesterday to Quinnipiac University, […]

Tradition-rich Wilton is enjoying a revival. After hovering around the .500 mark from 2006-2008, the Warriors have won 15 or more games in three of the last four seasons, including 2011, when the Warriors won the Connecticut Class M state championship. The resurgence coincides with the arrival of former WHS standout John Wiseman as the […]

New Canaan High School (Conn.) has handed the keys to its varsity boys lacrosse program to one of its own. Chip Buzzeo, a 1996 New Canaan graduate who went on to play at Princeton University, has been named the Rams’ new head coach. Buzzeo takes over for Alex Whitten, who led NCHS to the Fairfield […]

If you enjoy watching defenders who value style over substance, Paul Volante may not be what you’re looking for. The sophomore at two-time Connecticut state finalist Ridgefield is all about being steady and not necessarily spectacular. “I am not a very flashy player,” Volante said. “I play smart with good fundamentals and always play for […]
