I was incredibly impressed with what I saw out of Borg this fall, highlighting the Bethesda (Md.) native after the Terp Classic. Looking the part at 6’1 and 170 pounds, he’s an excellent athlete who plays with a lot of energy but is always under control, rarely making mistakes. Favoring a three-quarters release, his stick and shooting are dialed in and he has a strong repertoire of dodges to free his hands when dodging from the top of the boxes and the wings. Borg’s vision is advanced as a top-down feeder, as he’s always making the right play. When Borg is lined up on attack, he provides a boost in the riding game, and when he’s at midfield, he’s far from a liability when left on defense. There’s a lot to like about what he brings to the table — it feels like he never stops making positive plays.

Possessing a dynamic skill set, Borg seems to be equally comfortable playing attack and midfield, having earned an All-Star nod at Best In Class as an attackman to close out October. He was always a threat above the cage on Sunday and took on increased responsibilities for a Madlax roster that was without its top attackman and top defender at Terp Classic. I was really impressed with his eyes and knack for making plays under pressure and after the slide came, along with his vision. Tall, highly athletic and intelligent, the Bethesda (Md.) native has a smooth shooting stroke off the catch and off the dodge and made some highly impressive plays. This past spring, he was one of four DMV products on Deerfield’s varsity roster.
