SU Coach John Desko speaking prior to the start of practices for the 2017 season. The Orange is #7 in the Inside Lacrosse Preseason Poll.
Desko on sophomore Nick Mellen: "Hes our best defender. We're going to be putting him on our opponents best attacker every game."
Coach on Sr. Jordan Evans: "We need him to to step up and be a big leader for us this year." Evans scored a career high 27 goals last year.
On GK Evan Molloy: "The first thing that comes to mind is his confidence. He came in last year and turned things around. He's ready to go."

Orange relying on returning GK Evan Molloy & D Nick Mellen on close defense; Middies Sergio Salcido & Nick Mariano on offense
Coach Desko looking for #22 Jordan Evans to take on much bigger role, and be quarterback of offense
