Expert Analysis
Ty Xanders | Prep Lacrosse Scout
On the surface, posting 13 goals and four assists in a single week is rather impressive. Still, when further context is provided — Maznik did so in a variety of ways in four days against three MIAA programs — it’s that much more noteworthy. A multi-dimensional offensive weapon out of British Columbia, Maznik is far from an unknown, yet his continued development has been head-turning.
That comes as no surprise, though. After each brilliant performance from Maznik, WRA head coach Dylan Sheridan always leads by raving about his work ethic, calling him the perfect example for any coach, and that’s a quality that rubs off on the rest of the team, especially in a boarding school setting. Oh, the kid who puts in the most work and shoots the most outside of practice ends up producing the most on game day?
Against Spalding, Maznik scored four consecutive goals: he took it from the left wing, re-dodged to the middle and went low-to-low again, created separation off a pick then rolled before blasting a low-to-high shot then best of all, handled a low skip pass and hammered a shot with time and room. He followed that up with two more tallies in the second half.
Two days later at Gilman, he posted four goals and an assist in a narrow 10-9 win over Gilman to avenge an overtime defeat in 2023. His very best came in the third quarter when he came around the net left-handed, got it back to his right, and finished before the goalie could even react. The next day, Maznik registered a hat trick along with two goals in a win over Severn. Shoot, he even got past a ref who got in the way, backing his man down, throwing a fake, stepping back then shooting through his defenseman.
The way he’s able to sell a shot and use deception is flat-out ridiculous, as Maznik can make precise passes while taking advantage of the attention put on him to make his teammates look that much better. Whether it’s on the attack or out of the midfield (where he started his career), I have no idea how Harvard will keep this kid off the field next year.
