We return key players at the face off X and in the goal, along with an experienced defensive group. Offensively, we will have several new faces looking to contribute and develop chemistry. Our challenging schedule should prove very beneficial to allow us to be peaking in May.”

Outlook: “We are excited to start a new chapter in the Daniel Boone lacrosse program, where we have a host of young players anchored by returning seniors Xander Yergey -Mid and Mike Digiacomo -Def. The team’s core is young, but not completely inexperienced. Many of the players earned valuable playing time during last season’s campaign, which will benefit them this year. We will be relying heavily on an athletic defense as the offense builds chemistry.”
