Hopefully, the weather is a little better, but it seems that as of today the team is fully healthy (last year they had at least 3 kids on the roster out for the year with injuries). I am excited to see if they can carry over their fall performance into the spring. They have experience at every level (except goalie). their offense brings back 5 solid starters and adds Burbank who looked really good in the fall, as well as JD Townsend and Mike Russo that is a solid top-five at attack. there are 9 middies fighting for playing time and 6 solid kids after the top three of Grayson, Wilhelm, and Clark. I do not expect them to play together but they will mix in solid sophomores and freshmen.Laxguy703 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 12:16 pmCNU has their scrimmage times listed as 1:00 PM and 3:30 PM on their schedule.

The roster seems to be set with 1 addition and 2 departures. The short preseason will make it important that the boys show up in shape to play. I am also hearing that the players are feeling a little disrespected by being ranked outside the top 5 and having no preseason AA. It all starts for real in a couple of weeks, can't wait!!
1:00 PM (full scrimmage)
CNU v. York
Towson v. Lehigh
3:30 PM (half scrimmage)
CNU v. Lehigh/Towson
York v. Lehigh/Towson
The defense will be led by Greene, Blackmon, and Mentzer. their ssdm should be a strength. The defense looked really connected in the fall but clearly, this will be where they have to replace the most with the losses of Michael, Kennedy, and Smith honestly, the defense did not appear to miss a beat in the fall as Biava and Hull played very well.
