Ben Pridemore (Midfield Sr., 5’11”, 170 lbs.) Ben enters his third year on the varsity. Ben had a tremendous season on last year’s team and, with running mates Tally Bruno and Michael Lynch, formed one of the finest midfield units in the MIAA. Ben is smart, left handed, quick and fast, and an adept scorer and defender. In short, he’s as complete a middie as there is in the league and is an excellent player. Ben will take his talents to South Bend next year to play for the Irish at the University of Notre Dame. John Reinitz (Defense, Sr., 5’10”, 170 lbs.) John made the varsity last spring after a solid pre-season demonstrating toughness, good stick skills, and the ability to play both close and pole defense. Unfortunately for John and BL, he suffered a severe hamstring injury as the playing season began and never fully recovered. John is pound for pound one of our strongest players and we anticipate him being a significant contributor this spring. John will join DIII lacrosse power Stevenson University next fall Casey Rees (Midfield, Sr., 6’2”, 175 lbs.) Casey, entering his third year on the varsity, really came on last spring, scoring 13 goals; He is an excellent defender and a mainstay on the EMD unit. However, Casey’s greatest strength has become his ability to get to the goal. Like he has repeatedly demonstrated on the basketball court, Casey has a great feel for attacking the cage. He is sneaky quick, deceptively strong, and is good from distance and in close. Casey has quietly become one of the best middies, not just on our team, but in the MIAA. He will join his older brother Matt, a ’12 BL grad, at the United States Naval Academy after he attends their Prep School, NAPS, for a year. Andrew Roswell (Attack, Sr., 6’2”, 185 lbs.) Andrew joined the varsity for the first time last spring after two great years on the JV. Some early season ankle problems, coupled with coaches’ indecisions about the best way to use Andrew meant he never “got started” in ’12. Andrew is a big, strong, and athletic player. Once we finally settled on using Andrew as an attackmen (he’s a solid middie), he showed flashes of some excellent play. Unfortunately, it was too late in the year to get him significant time. We look for Andrew to have a good year as he’s another DI attackmen on the Laker team who’ll take his skills to the University of Michigan’s fledgling program next fall.
