Cardin Stoller’s rise to becoming Rutgers’ standout goalie has been nothing short of remarkable.
The Owings Mills, Maryland native, who honed his skills at Boys Latin School, has always been driven by a passion for the game and an unrelenting work ethic. Now a redshirt sophomore, Stoller has cemented his place as a key player for the Scarlet Knights.
Stoller’s journey to the starting role has been defined by perseverance and growth. After redshirting his freshman year, he emerged as a dominant force in his second season, starting all 14 games and posting an impressive 54.1% save percentage. His ability to make clutch saves, including two 19-save performances, has earned him accolades such as Big Ten Freshman of the Year and recognition on the Tewaaraton Award Watch List.
A student of the game, Stoller credits his development to rigorous training and a focus on fundamentals. He has embraced innovative techniques, such as using weighted shafts and resistance bands, to enhance his strength and precision. Reflecting on his journey, he emphasizes the importance of resilience and adaptability, offering advice to young goalies on staying prepared and seizing opportunities.
Leadership is at the core of Stoller’s game. He thrives on being the backbone of Rutgers’ defense, guiding his teammates and maintaining composure under pressure. His dedication to the team and his craft has made him a respected figure both on and off the field.
With his quick reflexes, strategic mindset, and unwavering determination, Cardin Stoller is proving to be an indispensable asset for Rutgers lacrosse. His story is a testament to the power of hard work and the belief that every challenge is an opportunity to grow.

Being a goalie parent is harder than playing the position. That’s why I created the Lacrosse Goalie Super Mom/Dad course — designed for parents with zero lacrosse experience who still want to support their goalie. You’ll learn how to train them (yes, really), but more importantly, how to guide them through the emotional highs and lows of the game.

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.
