The Midshipmen look to have secured their goalkeeper of the future in Emily Fitzgerald, who announced her commitment to Navy on July 17. A Long Island, New York product who plays high school lacrosse at Massapequa and represents LI Top Guns on the club circuit, Fitzgerald is an explosive goalkeeper with quick, snappy hands. She is fundamentally sound in the cage, moving her feet to stay squared on shooters. Her head is always up on the clear, looking to catch a midfielder or riding attacker off guard on the change of possession. Fitzgerald is yet another Long Island Top Guns product headed to Navy in what has become an established pipeline, and she will join club teammate Isabella Russo in Annapolis in a few short seasons.

Fitzgerald’s clears were spot on early in the morning at the Northeast Summer Showcase. She had a couple of really good saves. Fitzgerald made stops in close and from range.
