This highly touted freshman came to play on Thursday as Dumais registered a hat trick. Two of his goals came in transition, where Dumais displayed excellent field awareness and polished finishing skills. On one of those fast-break goals, Dumais caught the ball on the wing just above GLE. He made a quick move to dip underneath the initial defender and then raced to the cage. As Dumais crossed the front of the crease, he deposited the ball into the net. Dumais also showed serious hustle on the ride, as well as while picking up a couple groundballs.  

Dumais is a highly touted freshman, and his play during Hill’s season opener at St. Mary’s in Maryland did not disappoint. Dumais posted 1 goal and 2 assists in Hill’s 11-7 win over the Crusaders. His goal came via a smooth off-ball sweep from X to the post where caught a pass, threw a stick fake, and then deposited a lefty overhand into the net. Dumais also had a beautiful assist where he carried the ball from midfield to X and then dodged up the hash. As he crossed GLE, Dumais dropped a beautiful dime on a teammate who had cut through the middle of the SPS defense. His polished stick skills and attacking style were on display all afternoon versus SPS. When the ball swung to him, Dumais did not hesitate to initiate in an effort to create offense for Hill. The upside on this freshman is off the charts.  

After the scoring prowess Dumais displayed at recent marquee events like the NLF Fall Invite, Philly HS Challenge and One Percent Winter Showcase, including him in this post was an easy decision. Over the last two months Dumais (One Percent Offensive MVP) has proven to be unstoppable in 1v1 situations at both attack and midfield. Dumais repeatedly cooked his initial defender and then dashed into open space for goal or an assist on the run. His ability to change directions multiple times in traffic and then finish around the crease was extremely impressive. Dumais demonstrated that he is an accurate perimeter shooter too. He ripped step downs into all four the corners as well as off hip. When opposing teams double teamed Dumais, he swiftly moved the ball to an open teammate. College coaches will love the relentlessly attacking style and elite offensive instincts Dumais demonstrated in November and December.         

After his goal scoring bonanza at the NLF Fall Invite, Dumais was a standout performer again at the Philly High School Fall Challenge. In recent weeks Dumais proved he is a versatile prospect who can operate at midfield or attack at a high level. From either position, his speed and quick cuts enabled Dumais to blow past the initial defender, elude slides and then find open space for a rip. His super aggressive, attacking style often caught defenders by surprise. Dumais proved to be an accurate shooter from GLE too. His ability to ping every corner on the net was remarkable. Additionally, Dumais displayed extreme poise as he patiently possessed the ball until a cutter came open and then hit that teammate with a timely dime. College coaches will love the creative offensive mind Dumais possesses
