Attack is more than a speed dodging contest. Spallina and Hiltz are elite PERIOD. He had a slow start to the year, but Hiltz does more off the dodge than he gets credit for. He can get separation/draw the eyes of the defense in a lot of match ups dodging from the left wing and on top of it is one of the best shooters/passers in the nation. You can not put a price on what he achieves with his skip passes, even when they do not result in an assist. Spallina will nearly never get major separation on a longpole but still draws slides by taking the body in match ups, and is also perhaps literally the best passer in the nation. Lethal in pick plays/two man game situations. He picks teams apart. He certainly had a couple bad games last season (who on this list didn't) but overall it takes a top of the top elite cover guy to limit his stats, and then you still have to deal with the rest of our offense. He still has two years left.

5 is only reasonable because of the undecided third spot. If we had a more locked in guy there it should be higher, at least above Princeton and Yale. Look at how that princeton crew did against any defense with a pulse last season. Some of the exact same teams that limited our attack line also did that with Princeton, but we get judged while they get a pass. Holy crap I would looove to see Spallina and Hiltz stats if they played 6-8 ivy games every year. IL would treat them like gods.
