Coaches who integrate real-time lacrosse analytics into program culture achieve competitive advantages. Establishing and evaluating performance metrics is proving to be as vital to team success as strength training, conditioning, nutrition, skills development, and on-field execution.
Orlando, Florida — June 24, 2026 — STATDOG, the industry-leading sports science and lacrosse analytics platform, today published performance improvement results from high school lacrosse teams utilizing the STATDOG platform during the 2026 season.

The results provide empirical confirmation of a vital new paradigm in the sport: lacrosse programs that actively integrate Data Literacy into their coaching, player evaluations, and decision-making are experiencing unprecedented performance increases and championship outcomes. By treating real-time statistical insight as a structural element of athlete development, these programs are charting a historic competitive roadmap.
2026 Cohort Highlights:

The power of live lacrosse data to dictate season success was vividly demonstrated by Western Reserve Academy (WRA). Leveraging STATDOG’s intuitive interface, live dashboards, and aggregated analytics gave WRA a clear view of the bigger picture, identified subtle strengths and weaknesses, and allowed the staff to make meaningful adjustments throughout the season. WRA surged from a 2025 baseline win percentage of 0.714 to 0.933 in 2026. This 31% performance improvement drove the team straight to a near-perfect 99.99 rating and the #1 National Ranking on LaxNumbers, culminating in a historic Midwest Scholastic Lacrosse Association (MSLA) Championship title.
