Her three brothers — Mike, Matt and Chris — are three of the best players to ever come out of John Jay lacrosse, with Mike and Matt going onto impressive collegiate careers. Chris, John Jay’s all-time scoring leader on the boys side, just finished his freshman year at Virginia.

What is surprising is how quickly Casey did it.

In her sophomore year, she broke the John Jay record for most points in a season with 101, scored 69 goals (the second most ever by an Indian in a single season) and went over the 100-goal career mark — only the 10th John Jay player to reach that milestone.

And Bocklet, who now has 109 career goals, still has two more years to play at John Jay.

For Bocklet, however, the story of the season was the John Jay team, which progressed from a young team that struggled early to one that appears poised to be a powerhouse team for several years.

“It was a team effort. Everybody on attack played awesome and everybody felt each other’s vibe and it was great,” said Bocklet, who led the Indians in goals (69), assists (32) and points (101).

Able to score with either hand, blessed with great passing skills, and explosive enough to be dangerous from anywhere, Bocklet drew the attention of opposing defenses and opened things up for her teammates.

The results was a balanced attack that saw four other players score 26 goals or more. And the offense, featuring two freshmen, two other sophomores and two juniors, only got better with experience.

“It was difficult at first but they’re awesome players. They’re all very talented,” Bocklet said. “It will only help us (next year) because everybody will have more experience. We’re very excited.”

Bocklet began playing as a third grader with the Bedford program, and when Lewisboro established its own travel program she joined the local team as a fifth grader. Her brothers’ expertise helped her along.

“I had trouble catching at first. I went outside with my brother Matt and he helped me,” she said.

Bocklet will work to improve her game even more this summer with her club team and by attending camps. She will play field hockey for John Jay in the fall, and then prepare for what should be a big season for the girls lacrosse team next spring.

The Indians return eight starters, and nearly all their offense, from this year’s 8-8-2 team that reached the Section 1 Class B semifinals.

“We want to win the section very badly,” said Bocklet. “We need to do more skills work, skills like catching and throwing. We need to work hard at practice and we need to win games to get to the championship game.”
