Antonelli recently committed to Navy which means the Midshipmen have landed one of the most talented as well as highly decorated face off specialists in New Jersey. This fast and powerful FOGO is a two-time 1^st Team All-MAPL selection and owns the Blair program record for career face off wins. Additionally, last season Antonelli led New Jersey with 243 wins at the dot. Antonelli’s success is due in large part to his ridiculously quick hands and polished footwork. His lightning-fast hands produce clean pick-n-pops at an insane rate. After Antonelli has secured possession, he can explode off the dot, elude charging wings and then race into the offensive end. Once he is below the retraining line Antonelli is a legitimate threat to fire the ball into the back of the net. On the rare occasion where the face off ends up on the turf, Antonelli owns the physicality to go into a crowd, scoop up the GB and emerge from the pack with the ball. On his charges to the net, Antonelli does a remarkable job of protecting his stick with his body.
