I’ve always loved the competitive fire that White plays with, and on Tuesday, that translated into early goal-scoring to give the Lakers their first two goals of the evening in just 74 seconds. Just over 30 seconds in, he came off a Spencer Ford Spencer Ford 6'3" | 180 lbs | A | Right Hand Boys' Latin | 2024 #5 Nation MD pick that created separation, threw a fake, and sent a beauty into the top left corner. Then, with the defense’s eyes on Matt Higgins Matt Higgins 5'10" | 155 lbs | A | Right Hand Boys' Latin | 2025 #5 Nation MD as he got topside, White took a pass and sent one into the other corner. Coming with just under nine minutes remaining on what would be the final goal of the game, White’s last tally of the night occurred when he exploded past his man, got back to the middle of the field, and ripped one with his off-hand. In addition to his offensive output, White also made a huge play when he caused a turnover on the sideline in the riding game. As he heads to college, White’s ability to draw slides and routinely beat his man will serve him well in the Big 10, just as it has during his time in the MIAA.

Finishing with 22 goals and seven assists a year ago, White was a bonafide menace for the Lakers last spring and jumped out to a stellar start to his senior year by posting a hat trick in this week’s win over SJC. With his off-the-charts athleticism and one of the quickest first steps around, he makes it insanely difficult for opposing poles to keep up with and is always a threat to blow down the alley or a sweep across the top. White’s competitive edge is always on display – he shoots angry and has a downright nasty three-quarter release. Bound for Ohio State, White empties the tank in all aspects of the game and is such a presence from sideline to sideline. He deflected a shot to create a BL possession and was an absolute bulldog on the ride and in the middle of the field with his tenacious wrap checks.
