Expert Analysis
Carey Smith | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Mauro is a long and athletic pole with remarkable ground ball skills. That list of assets makes him a dominating force on the face off wing. On draws, Mauro can slash in from the wing and snag a GB cleanly or hunt for the ball in traffic until he secures possession. If the opposing team wins the face off, Mauro is quick to execute a heavy stick check that creates a turnover and then scoop up the rock. Mauro’s high IQ enables him to smartly decide whether to then push the fast break, roll back to open space or fire a clearing pass up field. In settled action, Mauro is capable of applying continuous pressure to ball carriers for long stretches. His crafty lifts, pokes and can openers frequently produce turnovers. Mauro can also contribute on the offensive end by pushing the transition game. His ability to run through significant contact on the break while maintaining possession will catch opponents by surprise.
