Former Lafayette midfielder Cooper Pasko has transferred to Syracuse men’s lacrosse, he announced on social media Tuesday. During the 2026 season as a freshman, Pasko scored six goals in nine games with the Leopards.
Lafayette went 5-9 this past season, finishing last in the Patriot League. Pasko came off the bench in his first eight appearances but started in his final game, a 14-12 loss to Lehigh on April 24.
Pasko was a three-star class of 2025 recruit out of Loyola Blakefield High School (Maryland), according to Inside Lacrosse. He scored 35 goals and recorded 10 assists in his senior season with the Dons. The Millersville, Maryland, native played club ball with the Baltimore Crabs.
Pasko, who played midfield and attack in high school, per Prep Lacrosse, joins an Orange team looking to replenish its offense with a senior-heavy team. Midfielders Luke Rhoa and Michael Leo, along with attacks Joey Spallina and Finn Thomson, will all depart after SU completes its season.
