It’s not too often that you see a five-year starting goaltender at an elite Division 1 NCAA school.
Syracuse All-American Asa Goldstock is one of the rare examples of a goaltender who was able to achieve such a feat.
By the end of her collegiate career, Goldstock held the record as Syracuse’s all-time leader in saves (663). Narrowly surpassing another Syracuse legend in goal Liz Hogan.
In her final season with the Orange, Asa was named to both the NCAA and ACC All-Tournament Teams leading Syracuse to the National Championship title game in 2021 against the Boston College Eagles.
Prior to joining the Orange, the Niskayuna, NY native was a 2016 US Lacrosse All-American and led New Hampton School (New Hampshire) to back-to-back Lakes Region championships.
In 2021, Asa has embarked on a new chapter in her lacrosse career. She was hired as an assistant coach for Lindsey Munday’s USC Women’s Lacrosse team where she will be coaching the Trojans’ defense and goalies.
For me when I watch Asa play the first word that comes to mind is “swagger” and we discuss her playing style and how she built up that level of confidence.
Asa joins the Lax Goalie Rat show to discuss her development in the goal, playing for legendary head coach Gary Gait, what it means to her to be a gay athlete in the lacrosse, coaching at USC, meditation, and much more!

Lacrosse is my passion! The game has given me so much and this blog is my way of giving back to the lax community. Specifically the most bad a$$ part of that community - the goalies! After learning to play goalie from scratch, I wanted to create a site where I could share what I learned with others so they too can become champions in the crease and in life.
