Who are the players who have scored the most goals in a game during their boys' lacrosse career?
It seems to happen every few years. A player's combination of talent, conditions, opponent and a little bit of luck come together for the performance of a lifetime. All the players on this list played lights-out for at least one game during their high school career - while some players are on this list a couple of times.
The list below is the known individual performance for the most lacrosse goals scored in a single game. To be included on this list, player's had to score at least nine goals.
LaxRecords.com is continuing its National Career Performances project. I am publishing an incomplete list now in hopes of participation from our readers. Records will be added as we receive them.
To submit a performance to the national records list, have the head coach or an official team statistician e-mail information submit a performance.
