Peter Trombino is a retired lacrosse attackman who played professional field lacrosse in the Major League Lacrosse (MLL) from 2007 to 2008. He starred as a member of the Princeton Tigers men's lacrosse team from 2004 through 2007. He earned Ivy League Rookie of the Year honors, two All-American honorable mention recognitions and three All-Ivy League selections (one first team and two second team). During his college career, Princeton earned two Ivy League championships and three NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championship tournament invitations. In high school he won a state championship in lacrosse and two league championships in American football.

Background

Born, September 23, 1985, Trombino is the son of Anthony and Cathleen Trombino. His brother Brian played lacrosse at Hofstra. He also has a younger brother Christopher and younger sister Elizabeth.[1] Trombino attended St. Anthony's, which is a Roman Catholic college preparatory private high school, in Template:USCity on Long Island. He participated on both the lacrosse and American football teams in high school. Trombino also competed in the Empire State Games in lacrosse. He earned varsity letters in both lacrosse and American high school football for the St. Anthony's Friars.[1]

In American football, as a junior in high school, Trombino made a fourth quarter interception in the end zone to help St. Anthony's earn a Long Island Catholic High School Football League championship game in high school football.[2] He played cornerback on the two-time league champions who went 22–1 during his career.[1]

In lacrosse, Trombino was an all-Long Island selection. He led his school to a 20–1 record and the Catholic League state championship during his senior year.[1] Additionally, he was an Empire State Games gold medalist.[1]

College career

Trombino attended Princeton University where he was a history major and wrote his senior thesis on The Influence of Sir William Johnson Among the Iroquois Indians.[1] As a lacrosse player for Princeton, he was the 2004 Men's Ivy League Rookie of the Year.[3] Then in 2005 and 2006, Trombinoa was a second team All-Ivy League selection.[4][5] In 2007, he was a first team All-Ivy League selection.[3] Trombino was an honorable mention USILA All-American Team selection in 2006 and 2007.[6][7] He is the only Princeton player to have at least 20 goals and 10 assists each year of a four-year career.[1][8]

Princeton qualified for the NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championship three of Trombino's four years (2004, 2006 & 2007).[9] The 2004 and 2006 teams were Ivy League co-champion with Cornell.[5][10] Trombino served as co-captain of the 2007 team.[11]

As a freshman, he was expected to be a midfielder, but he surprisingly earned a spot in the first team attack unit.[12] Trombino was the first Princeton freshman to score at least one goal in all 15 of his games (the prior record had been a goal in 10 different games).[1] As a freshman in the 2004 NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship, he scored an overtime game-winning goal in a 9–8 quarterfinals victory over Maryland that was set up by Ryan Boyle.[13][14] However, in the semifinals the following week against Navy, Trombino's shot was stopped with eight seconds left in the 8–7 loss.[15][16] In 2005, Trombino was Princeton's leading scorer.[17] In March 2006, he scored two goals and an assist in the defeat of Johns Hopkins that ended the defending national champion Blue Jays' 17-game winning streak and 37-game (38 was the NCAA record) home winning streak. In the game, he had to shift from attack to midfield in the second half when Mike Gaudio suffered a knee injury.[18]

Professional career

He played with the Philadelphia Barrage during the 2007 and 2008 seasons.[19] During the 2008 season with the Philadelphia Barrage, he once scored nine goals over a two-game stretch on the road (against the New Jersey Pride and Los Angeles Riptide).[20]
