- How soon does the offensive line gel?
Recruiting:

- Capro has a verbal commitment to play lacrosse at Maryland (Baltimore County)
- Davis has offers from Bucknell, Colgate, and Cornell, with interest from Monmouth, Fordham, Villanova, and Richmond
- Cohen and Reinhardt have interest from Wagner and other schools
- Plisky has an offer from Wagner as a long snapper
- Mizelle has talent, and a big year may lift him up
- The others are D3 players
- Underclassmen:
- Rogers and Stedronsky are the top prospects, and much depends on their junior years
Coach’s Comments:
“We have an experienced team. We were 8-3 with many key players returning, and if the newcomers play well, we will be fine. We will lean on the experience of several 3-year starters, and this will be a big senior year for them.” – Head Coach Eddie Gurrieri
