Get ready for an action-packed two days next week on December 17th and 18th at Stony Brook indoor at the LILJ College Bound Experience! Talented middle school players from across the island will have the opportunity to showcase their skills, sharpen their game, and learn from college coaches with deep Long Island roots. This unique experience delivers expert coaching, hands-on training, and a chance for young athletes to be seen by the LILJ, all while having fun and taking their game to the next level. Take a look at some of those in the Class of 2030 that will be in attendance that we’re excited to see in action next week!

Players that excite!

Julia Babst (2030, Attack, Wading River)

Babst is a dynamic offensive threat who thrives as an X attacker. She reads defenses well, attacks with purpose, and creates high-quality chances for herself and her teammates. Babst’s ability to both score and facilitate makes her a versatile playmaker when the rock is in her stick.

Ryleigh Byrne (2030, Attack, Kings Park)

Ryleigh is the kind of playmaker who elevates those around her. She sees the field one step ahead, consistently threading crisp, on-time feeds that put her teammates in prime scoring positions. She’s at her best when orchestrating ball movement and creating quality scoring opportunities.

Gracie Chornoma (2030, Midfield, East Moriches)

Gracie brings relentless energy to every possession, routinely winning tough ground-ball battles and turning loose balls into instant opportunities. Her speed stands out in transition, allowing her to push the pace and flip the field in a heartbeat. As her offensive game elevates, she’s becoming an even more dynamic two-way presence.

Quinn Flaherty (2030, Defense, Massapequa)

The Pequa product Flaherty is a lockdown presence on the back end, consistently winning her matchups with disciplined, physical on-ball defense. She reads dodges well and has the footwork to stay glued to her assignment. On top of that, her ability to track down ground balls and secure possessions makes her a stabilizing force for any defensive unit.

Elle Giannopoulos (2030, Defense, Manhasset)

Elle is a sound cover defender who knows how to be a disruptor. Her positioning, and anticipation allow her to stay glued to her matchup, taking away space and forcing rushed decisions. Giannopoulos also has a knack for creating timely turnovers—whether it’s a clean stick check, jumping a passing lane, or disrupting a dodge.

Mackenzie Klammer (2030, Midfield, East Moriches)

Klammer is a true do-it-all standout and one of the premier talents. She impacts the game in every phase—winning draws, pushing transition with ease, and finishing with confidence on the offensive end. Her athleticism and lacrosse IQ allow her to take over stretches of play, and her versatility makes her a matchup nightmare for opponents.

Torianne Napolitano (2030, Defense, Nesconset)

Nap is a strong presence on the back line, excelling in both on-ball coverage and overall defensive awareness. She stays poised under pressure, matching opposition step-for-step and taking smart angles to shut down scoring opportunities. Nap is also a standout in the clearing game—calm, confident, and efficient with the ball.

Dani Raupp (2030, Attack, Setauket)

The Ward Melville Patriot Raupp thrives as an X attacker with the ball in her stick and a full view of the field. Her vision and patience allow her to set up cutters, and create efficient scoring opportunities. When Raupp decides to take it to goal, she’s a smooth finisher in front of the cage.

Hailey Rosati (2030, Attack, Ronkonkoma)

Rosati the Connetquot T-Bird is a pure goal scorer with a knack for finding the back of the net in big moments. Her instincts around the crease and ability to finish under pressure make her a constant threat to opposing defenses. Beyond her scoring ability, Rosati shines in the ride—relentlessly pressuring clears, and forcing turnovers.

Delainey Sefton (2030, Goalie, Shoreham)

The SWR Wildcat Sefton is a reliable and composed presence between the pipes, consistently proving herself as a sound stopper of the ball. Her sharp angles, quick reactions, and controlled movements allow her to shut down high-quality scoring chances with confidence.
