FOGO – Rob DiNota, Westlake: The junior had a breakout season and his faceoff dominance was a primary reason why the Wildcats rarely lost momentum. He finished with 63 goals and 50 assists.
MF – Kyle Casey, Yorktown: The senior was often getting extra attention, so he set up teammates and picked his spots. He finished with 37 goals and 41 assists. Casey is heading for Albany.

LSM – Jose Boyer, Yorktown: The senior was hard to shake, and when he caught site of a ground ball the Huskers were transitioning in a blink. Boyer is heading for Notre Dame following a PG year.
D – Braden Burke, John Jay: The junior is a lock-down pole capable of dealing with size and speed. A knee injury ended his season in the playoffs. Burke committed to play at Duke.
D – Gibson Smith, Pelham: The senior is a hyperactive impact player on the defensive end who made opponents think twice about hanging onto the ball. Smith is heading to Georgetown.
D – Brett Makar, Yorktown: The junior is a complete package. He utilizes size, athleticism, intangibles and IQ while dealing with the best offensive player each game. Makar committed to play at Maryland.
G – James Swartz, Bronxville: The senior is not known for making a lot of highlight stops. He’s just remarkably consistent, with a save percentage above .600. Swartz is heading for Harvard.
