Expert Analysis
Eric Bretz | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Lyons had a great showing for the Pirates in this contest, and while it ended in gut-wrenching fashion, there are many great takeaways in a game like this against a quality opponent. He finished with 10 saves while facing highly skilled shooters and showed off a few acrobatic moves in the process. He made big-time saves time and time again, with some from range that he was able to get a good eye on, but many on the doorstep to keep his team in the game down the stretch. The Providence commit displays good size between the pipes as well as confidence, showing the ability to lead the defensive unit with high IQ plays on clears and the athleticism on the doorstep or when sweeping across the goal on well-placed off-stick shots. While the Pirates have stumbled a few times out of the gate early this season against some good competition, Lyons has been outstanding in cage, and they will need that production to stay high against another loaded schedule this year.

Lyons hasn’t gotten varsity minutes thus far due to a talented goalie room at Seton Hall Prep, but playing with Leading Edge in the summers, he has shown some real potential to take that next step as a junior. The 3-star recruit has good size at the goalie position and shows solid technique between the pipes. He sets up in his stance low, so if they shoot low, he’ll be there and if they shoot high, he can see the release well and explode out of his stance, while stepping to the ball. He is a smooth operator in the net, eager to get the ball up and out after a save to start a transition opportunity. Lyons stood his ground at this year’s NLF tournament and impressed out on the field in front of tons of scouts.
