Red Bank Regional (RBR) senior and Lacrosse Captain Jake Smolokoff of Little Silver recently signed to play Division One Lacrosse for The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) next fall.  Jake is a student in RBR’s Academy of Pre-Engineering and hopes to become a civil engineer.

            His coach Don Femminella comments on his captain, “Jake is one of the hardest workers and one of the best players to graduate out of the program in the five years I have been here.”

            Jake’s career stats as of May 8, 2014 include: 114 goals, 76 assists and 204 ground balls.  He plays both midfield and attack positions.

            Jake has also excelled in the classroom in a very competitive technology program where he managed to make honor roll for all four years of high school and gained entrance in the National Technology Honor Society.

            He states, “I am extremely excited to go NJIT as it is exactly where I want to be. It will be terrific to play for their first lacrosse team ever and for NJIT Head Coach Johnson. The fit is perfect academically for me.”
