6/10/2025 10:00:00 AM | Men's Lacrosse
DURHAM, N.C.— Corrigan Sports Enterprises and Inside Lacrosse recently finalized the list for the 2025 New Balance All-America Lacrosse Senior Game and five incoming Blue Devils are among the 44 selections.
Future Blue Devils Anthony Drago (A/M), Brady Scioletti (A) and Will Pedicano (LSM) were among the first wave of selections while Michael Ortlieb (A) and Will Tantillo (M) were in the third wave of honorees. Duke's five picks are tied with the five from Notre Dame and North Carolina.
Drago, the younger brother of recent graduate student Tommy Drago, hails from West Essex High School and is ranked third in Inside Lacrosse's Class of 2025 rankings. As a junior he scored 52 goals and 22 assists and this past season upped his production to an incredible 73 goals and 34 assists for 107 points. He finished his scholastic career with 251 goals and 126 assists for 377 points – breaking the West Essex career scoring record.
Tabbed seventh in the Inside Lacrosse Class of 25 rankings, Scioletti is a standout for Don Bosco Prep. He is the all-time goals leader in Don Bosco history and scored a hat trick in five of the first seven games of his senior season. Scioletti has helped Don Bosco to a 17-6 record this season with an incredible 72 goals and 24 assists for 96 points. The team advanced to the NJSIAA State Championship final and will play for the title June 11.
Pedicano, a standout longstick midfielder for Delbarton, is 11th on the Inside Lacrosse Class of 2025 rankings. He helped the Green Wave to a 19-3 record this season, advancing the NJSIAA State Championship semifinal. While helping to anchor Delbarton's defense, Pedicano contributed 15 goals and nine assists for 24 points. In his three seasons with the varsity squad, Delbarton went 54-16.
Top-rated members of the Class of 2025, Ortlieb and Tantillo are coming off outstanding senior seasons with Malvern Prep. The dynamic duo – Ortlieb on offense and Tantillo as one of the top high school short stick defensive midfielders – helping Malvern nab the nation's No. 1 ranking by beating McDonogh (Md.) early in the 2025 season. Both earned All-Inter-AC and all-state recognition after helping the Friars advance to the PASIAA Championship game where they lost to Haverford, 12-11.
This year's event marks the 20th Anniversary for All-America Lacrosse. As part of the celebration, All-America Lacrosse will return to the site of the first-ever Senior games at Towson University's Johnny Unitas Stadium. The Senior games will be played on Saturday, July 26. The girls' game will get underway at 5:30 p.m., immediately followed by the boys' game at 8:00 p.m. Both games are scheduled to air live on ESPNU.
The game's participants have been announced in four waves of players over a two-month period. The players will now be divided into North and South teams in advance of the All-America event.
