Fairfield Prep attackman Mason Reale has proven time and time again that he can score. Now, head coach Graham Niemi has a new challenge for the Villanova commit.

“We have been trying to ask him to do a little more distributing in our offense this year,” Niemi said. “One of the things we’ve been trying to work on with him is ‘Hey can you get the ball to the other guys, can you get some goals in some other ways?’”

Reale, an All-State and All-American selection last year as a junior, has been more than up to the challenge. Along with his 28 goals, the senior has 18 assists as well. Not only has Reale been facilitating more, but the rest of the Jesuits have been focusing on making the extra pass.
