Season outlook: EL has some holes to fill and a young club stepping up to the varsity level. Jensen and Hassan were both all-state players. Mower will be the new keeper. Kyajohnian returns to the attack up front while Norcross Plourde and Thompson bring experience to the middle. Steele and Luizzo anchor the back. Andreasen says he could have as many as nine underclassmen seeing significant time this fall.
