About Hunter
Expert Analysis
Niko Amato | Prep Lacrosse Scout
A projected four-year starter for Yorktown and a returning team captain, Hunter Mezzatesta has already piled up 640+ career saves. He posted 171 saves (58.4%) as a freshman, 220 saves (64%) as a sophomore, and 250 saves as a junior in 2025 — numbers that reflect rare longevity, consistency, and growth inside one of New York’s most demanding pipelines in the Hudson Valley region.
Hunter plays with a calm command that settles the entire defense in front of him. Mechanically, Mezzatesta is sharp: quick top hand, strong rebound control, smooth level changes, and the ability to win possessions with athletic second efforts. In transition, he’s a natural playmaker who can trigger early offense with confident outlets.
Hunter’s national breakout came in an 11-10 victory against Santa Fe Christian (CA), where he snagged a clean save, sprinted the length of the field, and buried the game-winning goal — a clip that drew 200K+ views and highlighted his athleticism and feel for the moment.
A proven product with a real big-game goalie feel, Mezzatesta is signed to play at the University of Virginia, where his experience, toughness, and instincts should translate quickly in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
