GoalTrax / LaxTrax
Lacrosse Analytics.
Built Differently.
The analytics platform that measures not just whether a goalie stopped the shot — but how. Built for coaches, recruiting coordinators, and athletes who want data that reflects what actually happened on the field.
The Problem
Why Save Percentage Isn't Enough
A goalie who faces 20 shots in a tight, defensive game and a goalie who faces 20 shots in an open, scrambling game look identical on the stat sheet. Save percentage treats every shot the same — it doesn't know if the shot came from 2 yards or 12, whether it was on-cage or barely on frame, or whether the defense created the stop before the ball was even released.
It rewards luck and punishes circumstance. And for decades, it's been the only tool coaches, recruiting coordinators, and families have had to evaluate goalie performance.
GoalTrax was built to fix that.
The Solution
GIx — The GoalTrax Impact Score
GoalTrax measures performance through GIx — the GoalTrax Impact Score — a universal player rating no other lacrosse platform offers. Every player rates above or below average: 0.00 is average, positive means they added value, negative means they gave it up. The rating spans the whole game — saves and clears, shots and assists, ground balls and turnovers — not just one position.
GIx is built on Expected Goals (xG), a shot-quality model that weighs location, distance, and context. For a goalie, GIx goes beyond whether the shot was stopped: a catch that clears possession earns more than a rebound the offense recovers. And every shot scores the players around the crease too — the shooter who took it, the assister who set it up, the player who won the ball back.
Derivative stats — Clean Save %, Danger Rebound Rate, and Fast Break Rate — give coaches even more granular tools to develop, evaluate, and recruit with confidence.
"Two goalies. Same save percentage. Completely different GIx. Now you know who actually controlled the game."

Live on Web and the App Store
GoalTrax is live on the web and on iOS — available now at app.goal-trax.com and in the App Store. It supports both men's and women's lacrosse with distinct field geometry, xG models calibrated to each game, and position-specific inputs.
Goalie Analytics
Chart shots in real time. GIx scores every play — catches, clears, fast breaks, and rebounds — and generates coaching narratives that explain exactly what happened and why it mattered. Headline stat plus Clean Save %, Danger Rebound Rate, and Fast Break Rate. Men's and women's modes.
Shooter Analytics
AttackTrax applies the same Expected Goals framework to shooters. GAAx — Goals Added Above Expected — tells you which attackers are producing above the quality of their looks. Same rigor, offensive lens.
Who It's For
Built for Everyone Who Cares About the Game
Coaches
Evaluate your goalies and opposing shooters on the merit of their performance — not the performance of the team around them. Coach smarter with data that actually differentiates.
Recruiting Coordinators
Make offer decisions with data that cuts through the noise. GIx tells you what the eye test only hints at — and what save percentage completely misses.
Athletes & Families
Chart your own games. Build a verified performance record over time. Let the numbers make the case for you — to coaches, to programs, and to recruiters who are looking for the real thing.
