With the 2023 lacrosse season in full swing, the Scarlet Knights have been one of the best teams in the Big Ten. Through eight games, they have gone 7-1 and won five straight games. During their impressive start, they have been led by Dante Kulas.
The Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary High School product has 30 points and added one game-winning goal to his resume. He is tied for the team in goals with 22 and is third in assists with eight. He has taken his play to another level this season and was recently recognized for his stellar play.
Kulas was named to the USILA National Team of the Week & Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week on March 13 after totaling five points on four goals and an assist in the Scarlet Knights’ 14-13 overtime win over Princeton. It was one of Kulas’s best performances in what is turning into an unforgettable season. As a result, he is no longer flying under the radar.
Additionally, Kulas has already surpassed his numbers from last season. In nine games during the 2022 campaign, he had 14 points while attempting 45 shots. During the 2023 season, he has been more aggressive offensively and attempted 45 shots, 31 of which have landed on net.

While the regular season is far from over, Kulas is proving to be a headache for opponents. The Scarlet Knights offense runs through him, and fewer players in the Big Ten have had a bigger impact. Kulas is proving to be a perfect fit for a team with high expectations.
