Possession Wins Games: Ground Ball Hustlers

In lacrosse, hustle is measured in ground balls—and no one hustled harder than Miles Koenig. A tenacious defensive midfielder, Koenig led the Tridents with 54 ground balls, embodying the grit and work ethic the team demanded.

Zane Caldwell and Jamari Holt weren’t far behind, flying into piles and breaking up plays with sheer will. These recoveries often meant the difference between a cleared defensive stand or an extended offensive run. Ground balls are about heart, and the Tridents never lacked it—proving that the best offense often starts with a scramble.
