The Eclipse 20s will have a high-octane offense this summer, led by an elite attack group. Griffiths, Minicus, Ciquera, and Mauricio will all look to keep the games fast-paced and high-scoring, as long as they have enough possessions to do so. That’ll be the job of both Wietfeldt and Patrick Murdock (uncommitted), Eclipse’s FOGOs who Hanford mentioned as vital pieces to the success of the team as a whole. Along with them, Hanford mentioned Ong, the only goalie on the team. “If we get a lot of stops, get a lot of possessions, that kind of dictates these shortened games,” Hanford said. In front of Ong is a defense group that features the pairing of Kyle Atherton (committed to Army) and Jack Whitney (committed to Michigan). Atherton is a steadying presence in Eclipse’s back line, while Whitney is a player that Hanford expects big things out of this coming summer.
