Jake Gallina led Pal-Mac’s offense to a 16-4 record and a Finger Lakes East title. Behind the offensive excellence of Cole Rathbun, Naples ended the regular season undefeated in Finger Lakes West and 14-4-1 overall.

Gallina tallied 23 goals and 21 assists, leading the Finger Lakes with 67 points and to earn Player of the Year honors. Also on Finger Lakes East First Team is his scoring counterpart, Nick Sapienza with 26 goals and five assists for the Red Raiders. Pal-Mac’s junior midfielder Sam Quick joined the elite squad with his six goals and nine assists.

Four of Wayne’s star players on both sides of the ball landed a spot on the first team, including one of the Finger Lakes’ top scorers. Cullen Bock got the nod after racking up 21 goals and ten assists. The Eagles’ junior midfielder and offensive go-to, Matt Gentile (14 goals, 19 assists) also earned the honors. Fellow Eagle defender Jonathan Graziose (two goals, two assists) and goalie Branden Shugerts (one assist, 78 saves, 0.504 goals-against average) also garnered first-team honors.
