STATDOG Powers Seven Championships

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. All team rating and ranking data are sourced from LaxNumbers.

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:

30% of Programs Using STATDOG Advanced to Regional or State Finals
7 Championship Titles Secured
7 State and Regional Runners-up
61% of Participating Teams Increased or Statistically Maintained Their National Power Ranking
100% of STATDOG teams experienced the value of integrating data literacy into their culture

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.

“I love STATDOG and found the data to be extremely valuable throughout the season. The app allowed us to give our players a comprehensive understanding of how different phases of the game impact one another and, ultimately, influence outcomes. Rather than relying on assumptions or gut feelings, we were able to have objective conversations rooted in evidence.”

Across a streamlined sampling of premier high school programs, the evidence remains undeniable: integrating data literacy builds champions. Delbarton School returned to the top of New Jersey, winning the NJSIAA Championship, climbing 13 positions to the number 15 ranked team in the nation.

“STATDOG proved to be invaluable this past season. The platform’s analytics are clear, accurate, and insightful, making STATDOG an excellent tool for in-game sideline analytics and post-game review for player and team development.”

Georgetown Prep transformed its program culture, triggering a spectacular 62% win percentage delta and claiming the Interstate Athletic Conference (IAC) Championship. Malvern Prep likewise embedded data literacy into their strategy, translating live-tracked insights into an Inter-Ac League and PAISAA State Championship banner and an elite top 5 national rank. Powerhouse St. Ignatius in San Francisco, using STATDOG, returned to the top podium with the CIF Central Coast Section (CCS) Championship.

Beyond the top of the national rankings, STATDOG is proving that integrating data literacy isn't a luxury reserved exclusively for already-elite programs—it is a universal equalizer for teams at every level of the sport. The platform serves as the ultimate catalyst for any program seeking foundational performance turnarounds. Weston High School validated the platform’s impact by skyrocketing an astronomical 1,007 positions up the national leaderboard, finishing an epic season as CIAC Class M State Champions.

“These outcomes are not just about ranks or rings; what’s important is that integrating data literacy drives player and team development at all levels. In the modern lacrosse landscape, real-time data is grossly undervalued and completely lacking for most high school programs. Our platform drives deeper understanding of the game for both players and coaches. STATDOG empowers coaching staffs to capture, view, track, and analyze data in real-time, completely reshaping how game-day and season adjustments are executed.”

“STATDOG helped us out in so many ways. It’s not just the real-time stats; it’s knowing at halftime what to focus on to get better. There were many times when the scoreboard said one thing and STATDOG barked another, so we could stay the course and believe in the plan. In short, STATDOG helped us stay in a good mental state, calm down our collective amygdalae, stay out of fight-or-flight mode, and be a more composed team. Staying present helps us be successful, and STATDOG helped us stay present.”
