Outlook: The Red Eddies lost a ton of talent on the defensive end, where EL is typically strongest. It will take some time for players to adjust to new roles but with 11 players back, EL should be able to fill the holes and remain competitive in the KVAC.
Coach’s comment:
“We’re rebuilding our defense from the goal on out. There are several positions that players are competing for during preseason, which should provide a challenging atmosphere that hopefully develops some mental toughness. Getting healthy and developing some depth will be key to our success.” — Coach Dave Morin
