Simply put, D’Alicandro’s quick hands and instincts make him a brick wall between the pipes. He recently proved that again in Marple’s 9-8 overtime upset of nationally ranked Radnor. D’Alicandro had 18 saves in that impressive performance, including several at point-blank range. One of his biggest denials came in a 1-on-1 breakaway situation late in the fourth quarter, with that stop likely preserving Marple’s upset effort. D’Alicandro is no stranger to playing a key role in big games as he was Marple’s goalie during its run to the 2023 2A state title. D’Alicandro’s outstanding play of late has been key to MN’s current six-game winning streak.

Committed to Marquette, Daubert is one of the top face-off prospects in the state.

His low center of gravity and extraordinarily quick hands regularly produce clean clamps. Daubert is also a football player, so he possesses the tenacity and strength to grind out wins.

His ability to maintain possession through extensive body and stick checks is noteworthy. Across his last three games, Daubert has posted a 70% win rate (39-for-56) to go along with eight goals and two assists.

Mains is an athletic, two-way midfielder with good end-to-end speed. On defense, his quick feet allow Mains to stay in front of his man so he can create turnovers with heavy stick checks. When he is in transition, Mains can find the back of the net on the run or move the ball to an open teammate. Still, what Mains is best known for is unleashing right-handed, step-down missiles from the 12–15-yard range. From that distance, Mains can deposit the ball into a corner he desires. Mains recently tallied five goals against Southern Leigh. He now has scored 11 goals in his last four games.

In settled action, Nash excels at using quick stutter step dodges to create space for his extremely accurate shots. Nash also has the size and strength to muscle his way to his shooting spots. He owns excellent field vision and a high IQ, so Nash will move the ball to the open man in a precise and timely manner. As a nice bonus, Nash is also capable of playing attack. All these assets were on full display recently as Nash registered three goals and one assist in a win over Springside Chestnut Hill. Prior to that win, Nash posted two goals vs. Penn Charter.

Zazoff is a versatile and skilled prospect capable of producing goals and assists from multiple spots on the field. He can dodge from X or the wing to create scoring opportunities for himself or teammates.

Zazoff owns the speed and sneaky elusiveness, so he thrives in the open field. Zazoff is a career 100-plus goal scorer and across a recent two-game span, he notched eight goals along with three assists. He is reportedly headed to Penn State as a student.
