<p>On Sunday, November 1<sup>st</sup>, several of the top club teams from the East Coast will assemble at the Kirkwood Sportsplex in Delaware for high-level fall ball action at the Autumn Bowl.</p>

<p>It is estimated that over 50 college coaches will be roaming the sidelines at the Autumn Bowl. Below are profiles of five Pennsylvania prospects I would humbly suggest that college coaches take the time to watch this coming Sunday.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">DiBlasi is a fast and shifty two-handed midfielder who can generate offense at every level. From up top or the wing, DiBlasi can shake the initial defender, dash into open space, and then fire on net or distribute. DiBlasi's ability to dodge going left or right makes him extremely difficult to defend 1v1. Out on the perimeter, DiBlasi can also crank sidearms as well as overhands into the net. DiBlasi has also demonstrated that he can slice down the middle of the field or work the high crease area for catch-and-finish goals. This sophomore has proven that he can carry the ball behind the cage and dodge or feed from X too. As a bonus to his scoring prowess, DiBlasi thrives in two-man game action where his field vision and feathery touch often produce creative assists.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Bruder is a long and agile offensive prospect with elite shooting skills. The first thing that stands out about Bruder's skill set is his ability to fire missiles from long range. Bruder's quick release, power, and accuracy make his shots from up top and the wing impossible to stop. This available junior can also initiate from anywhere on the field. On those dodges, Bruder's size and nifty stick maneuvers allow him to charge through the opposing defense and then finish in close. Bruder can also blow past his defender and then crank while on the run. College coaches should love that Bruder can also operate at attack where the combination of his size and an explosive first step makes him a matchup nightmare. Bruder can initiate from corners as well as X and get to the front of the cage where his nifty fakes and elite finishing moves render opposing goalies helpless. Lastly, Bruder has shown he excels at quickly turning GBs, rebounds, and turnovers into unsettled goals. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Last season, Hamilton was the starting goalie at Downingtown East as a sophomore and posted 15 wins along with a save percentage of 62.9%. Hamilton is an athletic netminder with noteworthy size, fast hands, and an active stick. Plus, Hamilton excels at tracking shooters. That list of assets produces a high percentage of clean saves. Hamilton's agility, willingness to use any part of his body, and recovery skills allow him to make the unorthodox saves too. His poise and quick reflexes enable Hamilton to stone shooters at close range. The combination of Hamilton's non-stop motor and ground ball skills allows him to scramble out of the crease to pounce on GBs. Once the ball is in his stick, Hamilton can leg it out himself or deliver a precise clearing pass upfield. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">During the 2026 high school season, Lacroix won 70% of his face-offs and racked up 200-plus wins. Then this past summer, Lacroix dominated opponents on the club circuit as well as at the New Balance All-America event. Lacroix is a pick-n-pop master who can then use his speed to separate from the crowd and charge into the offensive zone. His refined, two-handed stick skills enable Lacroix to score or distribute while on the dead sprint. Lacroix can grind out wins at the dot too. His powerful hands, refined technique, and positioning skills allow Lacroix to impose his will on an opponent and eventually secure possession. The trifecta of Lacroix's agility, non-stop motor, and aggressive stick assists him with tracking down and then vacuuming up ground balls. Over the last six months, Lacroix has established himself as one of the top 2029 face-off prospects in Pennsylvania, so I suggest college coaches at the Autumn Bowl watch him closely. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">How this athletic, extremely mobile, and versatile pole remains available is a mystery. During his breakout sophomore season, Wood caused 50 turnovers and secured 62 ground balls for Ridley. Wood's remarkable 2026 stats earned him 2<sup>nd</sup> Team All-Central League honors. His speed, polished lateral footwork, and lively stick make Wood a menacing on-ball presence. Those assets, combined with his positioning skills, make Wood a ground ball machine, too. Put all those items together, and you get a defensive prospect who can dominate a game between the lines as well as from the face-off wing. In 6v6 action, Wood can operate at LSM or close defense. From either spot, Wood can cause turnovers via powerful stick checks or by taking the body. He can also play the finesse game and put the ball on the turf with a timely lift, poke, or can-opener. Wood is a master at delivering trail checks too. Additionally, Wood is a fundamentally sound team defender whose slides, doubles, switches, and hedges are always on point. </p>
