Area’s best set for All-America Lacrosse showcase Saturday

Madison Beale

The elite of high school lacrosse will be center stage Saturday for the 17th All-America Senior Game at fabled Homewood Field at Johns Hopkins University. 

Twelve locals will participate in the girls’ contest at 6 p.m. Madison Beale, who helped St. Paul’s School to a second straight IAAM A Conference championship will suit up for the South squad with teammate Kendall Steer. 

Beale, a defender bound to Duke University, was VSN’s Player of the Year this past spring. Jaclyn Marszal, VSN’s Offensive Player of the Year who led Glenelg Country School to the IAAM A title game, will be on display Saturday.

Recent McDonogh School grad Kori Edmondson, the nation’s No. 1 senior by Inside Lacrosse, will play alongside future Maryland teammate Maggie Weisman (Glenelg Country) and former Eagle mate Caroline Godine (North Carolina). 

Notre Dame Prep will have four performers in Maryland-bound defenders Mae Marshall and Olivia Rockstroh, attack Emily Peek (Hopkins) and midfielder Finley Barger (Virginia). Jocelyn Torres (Glenelg/Virginia Tech) will help man the net for the South.

Mary Gagnon, who guided St. Paul’s to back-to-back IAAM A crowns as well as the nation and area No. 1 ranking, will coach the South squad. Gagnon’s assistants, Deemer Class and Melissa Diepold, will assist her Saturday.

The boys’ contest will have eight local standouts, led by VSN Offensive Player of the Year Dominic Pietramala from Boys’ Latin School. The North Carolina-bound attack and 2022 C. Markland Kelly Award winner will play alongside former teammate, goalie Cardin Stoller (Rutgers) for the South.

Brian Ruppel (Catonsville) will join Stoller in the net. Ruppel, the area’s top public recruit, will play for reigning national champ Maryland next spring. Another Terp recruit, AJ Larkin (longstick midfield/defense) will be joined by former Loyola Blakefield teammate Billy Dwan (defense/Syracuse). 

Recent Calvert Hall College grads Truitt Sunderland (attack/Virginia) and Jordan Wray (midfield/Georgetown) will also play for South along with Spalding’s Michael Weisshaar (midfield/Towson), who was the 2021 C. Markland Kelly recipient.
