Mount Sinai Native Joey Spallina Makes Syracuse Lax History

Mount Sinai native Joey Spallina continues to deliver on the hype at Syracuse Orange men’s lacrosse.

At the JMA Wireless Dome against Colgate, Spallina recorded his 308th career point in an Orange uniform with a highlight-reel, behind-the-back assist to Michael Leo, who finished the play in style with 3:04 remaining in the first quarter.

With that milestone, Spallina passed Mike Powell (307 points), long regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, to become Syracuse’s all-time leading scorer.

And he’s not done yet. As of April 24, Spallina has pushed his total to 313 career points, continuing to build on an already historic mark.

Congratulations, Joey!

Teams competing include Brentwood, Smithtown East, Massapequa, Northport, Riverhead, Mattituck, East Meadow and Deer Park.
