Riptide Prospect LaSalla named ACC Defensive Player of the Week

New York Riptide prospect Petey LaSalla was named the co-ACC Defensive Player of the Week for his performance for the Virginia Cavaliers this weekend. In their 25-21 win over Harvard, LaSalla won 18 of 29 faceoffs with 10 ground balls, while also scoring two goals. A native of Miller Place, NY, LaSalla was originally drafted by Panther City in the third round of the 2022 NLL Entry Draft, and was acquired by New York in a trade for Callum Crawford. He is Virginia’s all-time leader in faceoff wins and ground balls.
