Lila Behnam Lila Behnam 5'3" | Attack/Midfield | Right Hand Bishop Shanahan | 2028 PA ‘s complete game was phenomenal. Although she played attack, her defensive instincts were so strong that she looked capable of playing midfield as well. Her lacrosse IQ stood out on both ends of the field, and she consistently kept her head up while making the right reads. Behnam is an outstanding catch-and-finish player who understands timing better than most, slipping into open space and capitalizing on scoring chances. Her ability to cut, finish, defend, and make smart decisions with the ball makes her one of the more well-rounded attackers in the Class of 2028.

From Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, Lila Behnam Lila Behnam 5'3" | Attack/Midfield | Right Hand Bishop Shanahan | 2028 PA is a shifty and versatile attacker who sees plays develop before they happen.

In one instance during fall play, Behnam began her move on a free-position attempt. Seeing two longer defenders extend their sticks on each side, Behnam made a quick cut back and then to her right, slipping past both before firing a shot into the upper-right corner.

She moves exceptionally well without the ball, and her backdoor cuts often leave her wide open in front of the net, where teammates find her for easy finishes.

Behnam, only a sophomore, already has a wealth of playoff experience under her belt. As a freshman, she was part of a Bishop Shanahan team that went all the way to the PIAA 3A State Championship game before ultimately falling to Springfield Delco.

Behnam is a difficult assignment to defend, and it certainly would not be surprising if she is the one who leads Bishop Shanahan back to the state title game before her high school career is over.

Competing in perhaps the toughest district in the state, Behnam has begun to make a strong case that she belongs at the Division I level.
