Shore 2 Shore with 8-7 overtime win over Regulators in High Velocity Showdown
On Saturday September 16th Cold Spring Harbor High School hosted the High Velocity Showdown featuring Shore 2 Shore and the Regulators in a matchup between two high level 2025 Long Island club programs and it did not disappoint. This showcase game was presented by the LILJ and was broadcasted live courtesy of LI Sports Network with the film available on the LILJ YouTube channel to be viewed by college coaches for recruiting. This contest was played in four 12 minute quarters with running time, but incorporated the element of the 80 second shot clock, getting players accustomed to what it will be like when they take their game to the collegiate level.
Long Island’s Potential Immediate Impact College Freshmen
The 2023 high school graduating class are now in the beginning of the next chapter in their lacrosse careers, taking their game to that next level at various collegiate programs across the country. Many of them spent a lot of time throughout their high school playing days as “the guy” or a primary focal point in their team’s success. Now, that will change for most as freshmen in college often times have to wait until their time comes, playing behind upperclassmen. However, sometimes there are those that don’t have to spend much time waiting and can step onto the field right away and be a difference maker in that first year. Whether that’s because of a large graduating class the previous year positionally, a new coaching staff, injuries, or they just have a high level of talent that gets them on the field immediately, it’s without question that Long Island has some now college freshmen in men’s lacrosse that could quite possibly make some noise in their first year at the collegiate level.
Long Island’s Potential Immediate Impact College Freshmen
As the Class of 2023 embarks on the next chapter in their lacrosse careers at the collegiate level, the reality is that it often takes time as a freshman before getting your number called consistently seeing the field. While many won’t immediately see the field in year one, there are definitely candidates that may not have to wait their turn and could step on the field right away and make an impact for their program whether that be because of a large graduating class, players transferring, or possibly because of injuries or a new coaching staff. Regardless of how may it happen, Long Island definitely has players from the 2023 class that are talented enough to crack their college lineup right away. Here are some of the recent graduates on the women’s side that the LILJ believes could be making headlines in their freshman campaign!
