Coach: Joey Hinkley (first year)
Conference: KVAC Class: B North
Last year’s record: 5-8, lost in regional quarterfinals
Returning players: Senior — Sam Woodard (D); Junior — Steven Gilbert (A/M); Sophomores — Bailey Drouin (D), Darren Bailey (M), Cruz Poirier (M).
Key losses: Kyle Flaherty (M), Alex Mace (M), Matty Martin (G), Chad Merrill (D/M).
Promising newcomers: Junior — Marcus Bailey (A); Sophomores — Bryce Harlow (A), Brandon Michaud (G); Freshmen — Adam Lapointe (M/D), Ethan Richard (D), Gabe Bergeron (M).
Season outlook: One alumnus hands the torch to another as Hinkley takes over the program from Dan Brannigan. The Raiders have plenty of proven athletes on the field. Hinkley hopes to mold them into lacrosse standouts. Michaud must fill the shoes of Martin, a four-year starter. With sophomores and freshmen dominating the roster, leadership from the few veterans is crucial.
