NCAA Coach Evaluation from event --
"You will have a hard time finding a more athletic goalie than Jace. He was a brick wall over the weekend and constantly made plays out of the cage, backing up shots and picking up some tough GBs. Jace has excellent vision after the save and gets the ball up and out quickly. His unconventional play-style surprises and rushes finishers around the crease. Jace’s athleticism, motor, and hand-eye coordination are exceptional – providing a solid base to be a great talent at the next level. "

A signature move for Jace is the opening BTB (behind the back) move he uses to setup his coast to coast goal. Sweet.
