Alumni Compete in Under Armour Lacrosse Game

This past summer two Cardigan Cougars participated in the Under Armour All-American Senior Game held on July 31 in Baltimore, MD. Both representing the South, Kade Goldberg ’18 played at midfield, while Tucker Mullen ’18 played attack.


The 15th Under Armour All-American Senior Game, organized by Corrigan Sports, showcased the top 44 incoming college freshmen of the year. Under mostly sunny skies in front of a crowd of 4500 lacrosse fans, the South had a slow start, scoring only 3 goals to the North’s 6. By the game’s halftime, however, the South had secured a narrow 1-point lead over the North and then continued their success through the fourth quarter, burying an impressive 12 goals into the back of the net. The final score was 28-22. The South’s scoring was incredibly balanced with 27 players registering points, including Tucker, who scored 2 goals and made 2 assists; Kade scored 1 goal and made 1 assist.

For the past three years Tucker has been playing lacrosse for The Taft School where he earned varsity letters in lacrosse each year. He was a Show-Time All-Star as well as an Under Armour All-American, and according to Inside Lacrosse, he was ranked No. 25 as an overall prospect and No. 5 nationally as an attackman.

“Both Kade and Tucker have high lacrosse IQs. It’s been really exciting to watch their athletic careers continue in high school and now in college.”

Meanwhile, Kade attended Deerfield Academy, and was a member of the school’s lacrosse team during their 2021 season in which they clinched a 12-0 record and a No. 1 national ranking. According to Deerfield Academy, “In their historic season, the Big Green scored 152 goals while only conceding 61 goals over 12 games.” Kade also played soccer during his career at Deerfield.

“Both Kade and Tucker have high lacrosse IQs,” says Director of Athletics Ryan Frost P’25, who coached them during their years at Cardigan. “Either one of them could play any position on the field. When they were at Cardigan, they were also willing and able to get their teammates engaged and excited during games as well as practices. It’s been really exciting to watch their athletic careers continue in high school and now in college.”

This fall Tucker headed to the University of Virginia, while Kade entered the freshman class at Georgetown. They are only two out of 29 Cardigan alumni who are currently playing lacrosse at the collegiate level; 19 of those athletes are playing for Division I programs.

FROM THE EDITOR: When I look back over the many months it takes to produce an issue of the Chronicle, and I think about the countless conversations I have with the people in this community, there are always details that overlap unexpectedly, adding surprising nuances and subtleties to the stories within each magazine; history repeats itself, characters long forgotten resurface, faces in archival photographs look eerily similar to faces in the present.
