[HEADING=1][B]Jake Spallina ’23, faceoff midfield, Mount Sinai / Team 91 Long Island Bandits – Syracuse – NLF No. 26 ’23[/B][/HEADING]
It’s impressive to watch Spallina’s ability to adapt to any situation.

He’d win the faceoff and after Sinai cleared it, he’d grab a new stick to stay on and play midfield. When the ball went to the other end, Spallina was all too happy to stay on and play good defense. He’s gotten noticeably faster, a trait that was painfully evident to the Phantoms when he beat his man down the alley and ripped one low and away to push the Mustangs’ lead to 3-1.

“Lucas (LaForge) came up and set a pick. I obviously ran off of it and my guy got washed. (LaForge’s) guy came over to me and I just got the edge on him and stung it bottom left,” Spallina said.

Spallina’s compete level is off the charts, and it’s going to help him get on the field at Syracuse. He’s gotten so much better as a faceoff man, too. Spallina won seven of nine faceoffs, all of which came on defensive exits because Bayport used a pole at the stripe on every rep and the Phantoms made it their No. 1 mission to prevent him from going forward.
