Expert Analysis

Prep Lacrosse Scout

To a degree, it might be outrageous to call a St. Anthony’s and Team 91 LI kid an overlooked sleeper. While I’ll try to avoid that kind of verbiage — along with the aforementioned sentiment about a ’28 not being committed two weeks into the window — O’Connell is more than deserving of being highlighted, and of being taken by a program in need of a goalie. I get that he’s not the biggest cat, and that may concern some, but he’s a high-energy netminder who is excellent in big games, and his best lacrosse is still ahead of him, in my opinion. I’d expect him to earn the Friars’ starting job as a junior and perform at the level required of him, and then some. As we’ve written on this site before, he’s superb on shots sent to offside low and far from a liability on shots over his head. O’Connell’s voice is always heard, and it’s easy to tell that his defenders play with confidence when he’s in net. College coaches: don’t overthink this one.

Team 91 Long Island Venom took home the 2028 title at the IMLCA Players Summit, and Colton O’Connell Colton O’Connell 5'8" | 140 lbs | G | Right Hand St. Anthony's | 2028 NY was a huge reason why. He was the only goalie on the roster and stopped at least eight shots in their 10–7 win over 2Way. He made stops everywhere—high, low, five-hole, even sacrificing his body when he had to. Of the goals he gave up, several were doorstep dunks, and even on those, he read the release well.

Looking at him, you might not think much of him because of his size, but O’Connell can ball. He communicates at a high level, moves efficiently in the cage, and isn’t scared about coming out for ground balls or getting involved in the clear. He’s strong on high shots and has the technique to sweep and take away off-stick low. He makes a ton of clean saves that lead to smooth outlets and pushes the tempo in transition. O’Connell is riding real momentum after that championship—don’t be surprised if it carries straight through to September 1.
