National All-Star Games: Standouts From Team Pennsylvania 2026

Below is a review of prospects from Team Pennsylvania 2026 who played outstanding lacrosse at the Nike National All-Star Games which were held earlier this week in Edgewood, Maryland.    On Day 1 of the National All-Star Games, Team Pennsylvania 2026's defense was still figuring things out, but thanks to Garrity's fantastic efforts in cage, they were able to remain competitive in those early games. This lefty is a quick and agile net minder, so he covered every corner of the cage. Garrity tracked shooters well, remained square on them and then cleanly snagged a significant percentage of shots attempts. When shooters fired low bouncers, Garrity dropped rapidly and with precision in order stop those shots. Plus, Garrity showed extraordinary patience and rarely bit on shot or head fakes. Garrity also did a tremendous job of finding loose balls around the crease and then aggressively covered those potential second chance opportunities. Once the ball was in Garrity's possession, he displayed poise and made excellent decisions with his clearing passes. As a nice bonus to his skill set, Garrity is a clear and loud communicator. Garrity is committed to Delaware.     The Loyola Greyhounds landed an absolute beast in this pole with size, range, and elite stick skills. Kuriger is a versatile lefty who displayed the speed and patience to shadow ball carriers on the perimeter and then at the right moment deliver a well-timed poke check that created a turnover. Kuriger was then quick to secure the loose balls and race into the offensive end where he was a threat to rip a shot or distribute. In close, Kuriger proved he will not hesitate to use body checks to separate the ball from an offensive player. He also used heavy stick checks to create turnovers. Kuriger's ability to tie up offensive players for extended periods with a combination of physicality and pressuring their hands / stick was remarkable. Kuriger's high IQ and excellent anticipation skills led to his stick frequently clogging up passing / shooting lanes and generating deflections. When Kuriger was off-the-ball, his slides and double teams were on-time and effective.           This Duke commit is coming of an impressive junior season, so it should not be a surprise that Malone was a standout performer at the Nike National All-Star Games. Malone is a fast midfielder with considerable size and an attacking mindset. That trifecta allowed Malone to get downhill in a flash (going left or right) then shoot or distribute on the run. His ability to finish or pass with either hand was incredibly impressive. Malone's quickness and creative change of direction cuts produced a few SportsCenter worthy moves. His was able to find the back of the net while in heavy traffic. On the perimeter, Malone excelled at sweeping over the top of the opposing defense into open space and then getting his hands free for a shot. Malone also displayed well-timed off ball movements that led to several clean step downs.           During his monster senior campaign, Smith recorded 50 goals and 25 assists, was a 1st Team All-State selection and led Radnor to the 3A state championship game. Smith is an extremely athletic prospect (also a basketball standout) with speed, size, and skills. That list of assets combined with his physicality allowed Smith to work as a two-way midfielder at the National All-Star Games. Offensively, Smith thrived in transition. His ability to change direction at full speed was impressive. When Smith was on the break, he fired shots on the run or drew a defender and then moved the ball to the open teammate. In settled action Smith was a high IQ initiator who did a tremendous job of balancing his own scoring opportunities with getting teammates involved. On defense, Smith's smooth lateral movements and active stick enabled him to generate turnovers. He also played a physical brand of D-Mid that overpowered ball carriers. Smith was previously signed to Mount St. Mary's. However, back in the spring, Smith announced he was reopening his recruiting process and taking a post graduate year at Hill School.     Trymbiski is committed to Hofstra and after his fantastic efforts at the National All-Stare Games, it is easy to see why the Pride's coaching staff offered him. What jumped out immediately about Trymbiski (1st Team All-State) was his instinctive off-ball movements. His ability to make a cut or slip into an open space at just the right moment was next level. Once he has received a pass, this lefty can finish from multiple angles. Trymbiski also proved he could operate from X at a high level. From behind the cage, Trymbiski's quick burst and deep bag of moves enabled him to blow past the initial defender, turn the corner and score from in-close. Trymbiski's ability to maneuver in heavy traffic without losing possession was impressive. When Trymbiski was swarmed by a double team, he smartly moved the ball to open teammates for a clean look.
