The fourth and final article in the series looking at some of the top freshmen from the 2024 college lacrosse series. Today it’s time to turn the page and look at those freshmen who made significant impacts at both the goalie and faceoff positions.
Scott Einarison, G, Bryant
Einarison started the final 10 games of the season for the Bulldogs and proved to be a solid backstop for that Bryant defense. The Billerica, Mass., native made 105 saves with a 53.6% save percentage. He was first among freshmen in save percentage.
Patrick Jameison, G, Duke
A day one starter for the Blue Devils, Jameison made 196 saves with a 53% save percentage to backstop the Blue Devils’ defense.
Caleb Fyock, G, Ohio State
Put into the starting spot early in the year due to injury, Fyock shined with the Buckeyes as a freshman. He made 148 saves with a 51.7% save percentage.
Anderson Moore, G, Georgetown
After a shaky start, Moore settled in and lived up to the hype as the backstop for the Hoyas’ defense. Moore made 166 saves with a 51% save percentage.
Brady Wambach, FO, North Carolina
Wambach worked his way into being North Carolina’s top option at the faceoff dot and had a tremendous freshman campaign. He went 1460-for-239 (61%) and ranked first among freshmen in faceoff win percentage.
Zach Hayashi, FO, Navy
Hayashi proved to be a solid answer to a big question for Navy coming into the season with losses at the position. The freshman went 214-for-372 (57.5%). He was second in the country among freshmen in faceoff win percentage.
Chris Esposito, FO, Stony Brook
Esposito had a solid freshman campaign for Stony Brook as he went 146-for-307 (47.6%) as the Seawolves’ top option at the dot.
