Coach: Ralph Nelson (first year)

Conference: MVC Class: B North

Last year’s record: 5-8, lost in preliminary round

Returning players: Alex Michaud (G), Ridge Servidio (A), Brendan Donovan (A).

Key losses: Isaac Dean, Adam Vining, Kenton Ernst, Rick Lacombe, Keenan Lynch, Matt Chasse, Austin Roy.

Promising newcomers: Xavier Michaud (A), Reese Farrell (M), Brandon Glover (G).

Season outlook: Nelson takes over the program after five combined seasons as an assistant at Yarmouth High School and Saint Joseph’s College. The Saints are younger and thinner than the past couple of seasons. It will be a challenge to make a playoff run against primarily KVAC and WMC competition, but Nelson expects consistent progress from this group.
