Plays and Drills for
your Team

Nick DelBene is the one.

Yorktown, among the most renowned and successful varsity programs from sea to shining sea, has its first Class of 2015 commit.

Towson University, meanwhile, has its second tristate rising junior verbal.

DelBene gave a verbal to Towson yesterday, a commitment first reported when it was made by Joe Lombardi on LaxLessons.com’s Lacrosse Insider section.

The 6-foot-1, 170-pound lefty midfielder has a strong and accurate shot, including on the run, to go along with good field vision.

The Tigers’ first 2015 commit from the nation’s No. 1 hotbed for lacrosse, the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut tristate region, came when another Hudson Valley standout, Brendan Sunday, an attack/midfielder from Arlington High School (N.Y.), committed to the Tigers in February.

Now, here’s a Q&A with Nick on his commitment.

What were the main factors in your decision?
School size, campus, team’s style of play.

What other schools were you considering and what schools did you visit?
Hofstra, Army and Fairfield.

What area of your game do you need to work on?
Shot speed, right-handed shot and defense.

How did you get introduced to lacrosse and what other sports have you played?
My dad played and he wanted me to play.

What travel team do you play on what showcase events did you participate in?
Yorktown Ballers. I went to the Moonlight Lacrosse Showcase, Maverik Showtime and National Invitational 175.

Any final thoughts?
I would like to thank my family for supporting me, all of my high school coaches and Barry Bocklet for getting in touch with coaches that were interested in me.
