Boys Lacrosse Recap


Posted on 06/03/2024

The Boys' Varsity Lacrosse Team had a very successful 2024 season. The team played a very challenging schedule this season, with games against nationally ranked opponents from 6 different states. The team finished with a record of 12 and 2 and holds a current National Rank of #3 in the Country and #1 in NYS.

 

During the 2024 campaign, the Friars beat Nationally Ranked Culver Academy, Haverford School, Darien, and St Johns DC, as well as Delbarton and Staples High School. Both are in contention for their local state titles.

 

The season culminated with the Friars beating Chaminade for the second time on May 7th on Cy Donnelly Field. The win gave the Friars their fifth straight Catholic League and fifth straight Catholic State Title. It was truly a special way to end another remarkable season.

 

Thank you to all the team members, particularly our seniors, for all they have done for our program!

Kyle Bilello, St. Anthony’s, M, Sr.

The Brown commit can have an impact on offense just as much as he does on defense. Coach Keith Wieczorek said Bilello “runs the field extremely well” and is “dangerous 
in transition.”

Luke Breslin, St. Anthony’s, A, Sr.

Breslin totaled 25 points (15 goals, 10 assists). Coach Keith Wieczorek praised the Lehigh commit’s ball control and lacrosse IQ, as well as Breslin’s versatility to finish with both hands.

Gary Merrill, St. Anthony’s, M, Jr.

Merrill’s athleticism will be on full display for the Friars. Coach Wieczorek said the North Carolina commit  is a “great on-the-run shooter.”
Tommy Snyder, St. Anthony’s, D, Sr.

Coach Wieczorek praised Snyder’s on-ball skills as a defender, adding that he has “excellent stick skills and ball handling from close defense.” Snyder is committed to Syracuse.

Dante Vardaro, St. Anthony’s, D, Sr.

Coach Wieczorek described the Penn commit as a “fierce defender,” while also complimenting his stick skills and clearing ability.
