Desko: Goalie "Warren (Hill) has come in and really taken over. Totally different player from last year."

Desko cites defender Nick Mellen as a freshman who can match up with smaller attacks who have good feet.

Desko says he's "toying" with Ben Williams potentially playing more offensively and defensively, not just as a FOGO.

Desko says Williams is fully healthy. He had shoulder surgery and missed Fall Ball.

Warren Hill will be the starting goalie, Desko says. Was a competition in the fall with Evan Molloy but Hill won job after the fall.

Interesting that when asked about impact frosh he mentioned two defender's. A good sign for the defense but a little disappointed not to hear Voight or Romano's name. Williams playing anything other then face off is asking for disaster, don't do it.

Williams is allowed to take 1 shot a game.

Williams is allowed to take 1 shot a game.

after he cleanly wins the FO and drives straight to the cage.

That's a lot of seniors

A lot of 4th year kids who redshirted, probably. There are only 13 actual Seniors.

Agree. Why wear him down? He's too valuable at the X.
