Haley Matul, Uncommitted Lacrosse All Star

If you watched goaltender Haley Matul play lacrosse, you would never imagine that she picked up a stick for the first time in her sophomore year. The 2018 net-minder made the varsity softball team her freshman year, but caught the eye of a lacrosse coach a few months later. Now she’s the starter for Triumph’s National Team and ready to take her passion for the game to the next level.

Haley was able to bring a lot of experiences from other sports to help her build her lacrosse skill set. She attacks the ball and displays instant reaction time. Her communication and field awareness make her a strong leader behind any defense. This kid is always fighting to get better, open to any critique that will help her reach her goals.

“During the fall of my sophomore year, I was encouraged by Coach Merucci at Triumph Lacrosse to try goal tending during their fall season. I picked up a goalie stick, got in goal, and fell in love with being in the net and the challenges it presented. I have played for Triumph’s varsity team ever since, won several tournament championships, and have recently earned the spot as their goalie for our Triumph Elite National team which will be attending the Capital and President Cups in 2017.”
