Danny Guyette: Win the Little Things – Podcast #270

This episode is sponsored by Thigh Pro

Daniella (Danny) Guyette is an emerging talent in collegiate lacrosse, recognized for her agility, composure, and leadership as a goalkeeper for Syracuse University.

Originally from Newbury Park, California, Guyette’s lacrosse journey began at Newbury Park High School, where she was a standout player. She earned multiple accolades, including three-time All-Marmonte League First Team and All-Ventura County First Team honors. Her senior year was particularly impressive, as she posted a .590 save percentage with 130 saves in just 12 games. She was also named to US Lacrosse’s Fab 50 and played in the Adrenaline All-American Senior Game.

At Syracuse, Guyette has continued to develop her skills. After missing her freshman season due to injury, she made her collegiate debut in 2024, playing in seven games and recording a 7.63 goals-against average with a .524 save percentage. She made her first career save against Virginia Tech and had a season-high three saves against UAlbany.

Guyette’s dedication to the sport has been shaped by her admiration for past Syracuse goalies. Growing up, she studied the play styles of standout SU goalkeepers like Asa Goldstock and Delaney Sweitzer, incorporating elements of their game into her own. Now, with Sweitzer’s transfer to Northwestern, Guyette is poised to take on a larger role as Syracuse’s starting goalie in 2025.

Off the field, Guyette is pursuing a degree in forensic science and has been recognized for her academic achievements, earning spots on the ACC Academic Honor Roll and the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll.

The start to her Syracuse career didn’t go exactly as planned as Guyette suffered a knee injury keeping her out the entire year. We talk about the process of overcoming an injury like that both mentally and physically.

Her journey from a determined high school athlete to a rising collegiate star serves as an inspiration to young lacrosse players aiming to make their mark at the next level.
