Going into 2023, one of the biggest questions is if some of the programs whose coaches were, in 2022, still(at least somewhat for some) in their "early" years with them can show serious improvement both in wins and overall performances. The four programs that apply to the above are, in no order:

Lafayette- Coach Pat Myers will be in his fifth season.
Holy Cross- Coach JL Reppert will be in his third season.
Colgate- Coach Matt Karweck will be in his fifth season.
Navy- Coach Joe Amplo will be in his fourth season.

IMO, HC will remain the same, Laf will win 3 games, Colgate just not sure, if Navy can get an attack kid that can draw a double and then kick out to those shooters at mid could be much better.

There are a number of defenders that are ready to step in and they have two capable goalies that have been waiting for their time. The offense will look very different next year with the OC moving on to Hopkins. This is good news as they won’t be as predictable and as long as they can stay healthy they’ll be deep even with losing Kirst and Schelling. Sisselberger is back and has two years left after RS freshman and COVID year. I’d be surprised if he ever went somewhere outside of Bethlehem.

So what kind of offense are they going to run that won't be so predictable. Please share your lax IQ with us.

Interesting. PLL defenses can't contain Nichtern but Navy's D did.
