We are hanging out everyday no matter what is going on”. Martini also shared “we hope to win a county championship this year to say the least. We have all the tools we just need to perform and get better every day”. Martini stated he’s absolutely seen improvements from last year. “I think as a whole this team is just much closer and more together than I’ve ever seen. Our chemistry off the field allows us to trust each other on the field.” He also noted a few standout players on the team this year with Devin Paccione, Dylan Martini, Luke Martini, Thomas Conway, Kyle Conklin, Tj Carlo, and Joe Nicholson.

The team has a number of seniors committed to various colleges and universities to continue their lacrosse careers with Jake Martini (Army), Dylan Martini (Albany), Will Greaves (Adelphi), and TJ Carlo (Ithaca) all committed with plans to play for the institution’s lacrosse programs.
