Excited about the midfield, including the second line - what strikes me is, besides Carlin/McKinney, the three guys pushing for the most time are only sophomores. That is great, but puts a lot of pressure on the freshmen, and the coaches to get everyone playing time/touches. Hypothetically, NO spots on either top two midfields open up next year.

I was a big fan of Quinn coming out of high school and think he has a tremendous shot.  Would like to see either he or Lipka (or both?) on man up this year. Looked a little out of his depth last year and didn't make the most of extended playing time against Rutgers.

Saw limited time of Buttermore but he looked great against Colgate. Only one game but he certainly raised eyebrows. Was it just a flash in the pan?

Lipka looked like an upperclassman last year. Would like for him to work on passing but showed to be a good shooter and decent dodger.

Carlin is a strong dodger, though I wish he would look for teammates more. Has a knack for putting his head down and going straight towards goal.

Freshmen (as well as McKinney) could rotate in as a third line, but again that takes playing time away from first two lines. Curious to see if coaches think Magnan is ready for real playing time. Others strike me as being a year away.

Lastly, Dordevic only had 15 goals last year, not 19.
