Reece Molinaro '22 Recruiting Profile

I know I work hard and love the game. I've spent every year since I can remember wanting to learn and be the best long pole on the field and accept the rigor sometimes to get there. I have so much respect for being in competition with so many great players so what makes me different? I think my coaches are my best representation of my ability so this is what they had to say when I asked for a quote:

Reece has the ability to effect the game shutting down a #1 opposing offensive option or the best athlete on the field. His combination of IQ, toughness, footwork and ball skills make him a sought after recruit. He has a strong command and presence in the defensive end and is patient and smart in the clearing game. Whether it be during training sessions or tournament game play you know that your getting a seasoned defender that wants to compete! Our goalies love having a defender like Reece in front of them and we could not be more excited for his trajectory at the collegiate level. - Coach Bryan Armstrong, NJ Riot

Reece has been a force for us on defense since his freshman year. His tenacity on-ball and excellent footwork has helped him blossom into a true shut-down defenseman. His smooth (right and left) stick-skills and excellent vision makes him a steady hand in the clearing game and always a threat to help spark transition offense. His love for the sport and his teammates has made him an invaluable member of a program and I know he'll be a great asset to any program lucky enough to have him in the future. - Coach Justin Schwindel, West Essex H.S., Knights, Head Coach
