Despite receiving extra attention from Springfield's defense, Fletcher poured in4 goalsand handed out an assist. Fletcher scored twice via crafty off ball drifts to the crease area that produced catch and finish goals. This speedy attack with polished stick skills also found the back of the net by dodging from X, blowing past his defender, turning the corner, and then firing a shot from the hash mark. Several times in this game Fletcher also worked back to midfield help Kiski clear the ball. Fletcher's high IQ and poise where on display all night too. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["177139"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":177149,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a011c8ecb5a5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Labelle<strong> (</strong>Detroit Mercy commit) is a fleet footed and physical pole with an active stick who had an impact at both ends of the field. As an LSM, Labelle frequently picked up GBs or received clearing passes and then used his remarkable separation speed to push the rock for transition opportunities. On one of the fast breaks, Labelle hauled in an outlet, dashed to the cage, and then cranked a 10-yard rocket into the net. Labelle scored on the play despite having a defender hanging all over him. At the defensive end of the field, Labelle did a tremendous job of causing turnovers with powerful stick checks as well as by taking the body. Labelle also displayed a high IQ and extreme discipline as he recognized and then covered Springfield's cutters in their off-ball movement heavy offense. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Springfield</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["175504"],"_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-6a011c8ecb603"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This available 2026 prospect was an absolute beast for Springfield at the face off dot in this game. Rush won 20 of his 25 face offs (80%) and scored a goal in Springfield's win over Kiski. His incredible reaction times and polished technique led to a slew of clean clamps. Rush then exploded into the offensive end and generated odd-man break opportunities for the Cougars. On the rare occasion where Rush did not win the draw cleanly, he was able to use his physicality and speed to track down the loose ball and then secure possession. College coaches need to contact this game changing FOGO immediately.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["142306"],"_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-6a011c8ecb659"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This season Ryan has been one of the most impactful 2028s in the state of Pennsylvania. That trend continued on Friday evening as Ryan stuffed the stat book with 3 goals and 2 assists. In this game, Ryan found tremendous success when he got downhill and then fired on net or distributed on the run. His ability to dodge going left or right combined with his polished stick skills made Ryan impossible to defend 1v1. Ryan showed he could snipe from distance in this game too. This versatile offensive prospect also flashed the ability to operate at X during several of Springfield EMOs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["20475"],"_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-6a011c8ecb6b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">On Friday evening Valerio once again proved that the Penn State coaching staff landed an offensive wizard for their 2026 recruiting class. Valerio recorded 3 goals and 2 assists in this victory as he displayed an extraordinarily well-rounded skill set. One of the goals Valerio netted in this win was an impressive, lefty 18-yard high to low missile. Another goal Valerio scored came in settled action when he executed a timely dive down the middle of the field, caught a pass and then in the same motion fired a high-to-high jumper into the net. Valerio's field vision and ability to freeze a defense with head / stick fakes produced two creative dimes.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
