His pace helped him elude defenders and he also put some heat on his shots. All in all, it was good to him be assertive out there when he had the rock. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 4 Goals. 1 Assist </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Kellen Fines ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029 ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"147","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Pirates Lacrosse ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69c6b095c3185"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Freshman Kellen Fines was dominant at the X against One Hill.

He tallied his first goal by quickly releasing a shot from up top, placing it in the bottom left corner. Later on, he moved well off-ball inside and capitalized after being fed once he created separation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 2 Goals </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Dante Diaz ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"142","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Pirates Lacrosse ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69c6b095c3263"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dante Diaz also racked up 4 goals for the Pirates in their win. He found the back of the net routinely, and his shots all had some punch to them. A top highlight of his, was when he dodged from X and got a step on his defender before letting it fly. The One Hill goalie noticeably had little time to react. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["174819"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69c6b095c32aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Levi Traux was a force out there for the One Hill Falcons last night. The crafty middie hunted shots frequently and had some impressive goals. One of his top highlights was a face dodge where he perfectly hid his stick as he burned his matchup. He then let it go and snuck it by the Pirates goalie. Traux also showcased his ability to find teammates, notching an assist after pulling a couple of defenders out of place. All in all, he was very productive and competed with intensity.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 5 Goals, 1 Assist </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Other Notable Performers On Offense </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jaxon Bush - Pirates - 2 Assists </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alex Hope - Pirates - 1 Goal, 2 Assists</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tyson Gray - Pirates - 1 Goal</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Charlie Mohler - Pirates - 1 Goal</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
