This is the lineup I am rooting for.  I think Dwan would be a good complimentary defender who could also match up with the bigger bodies out there. Figuerias and Olexo could both potentially take away other teams top dodging threats. And it may just be me, but it seems like most teams these days are initiating most of their offense through the attack, and not the midfield. I'd rather have Olexo and Figuerias on say Shellenberger and Cormier, or O'Neil and Zawada (assuming he plays attack) or the Kavanaugh Brothers than I would have one of them on Shutz or McAdory or Dobson coming out of the box. If you are worried about transition offense, Schmitt from Mt. St. Mary's should have that department covered.

It would be pretty remarkable if SU had their entire close defense that started last year (Clary, Kol and Caccamo) return this year and none of them retained their starting spot.  Clary was hurt a lot of last year and then was benched in the season finale vs Duke. Caccamo moved to LSM when Clary was hurt and Olexo had to guard the #1 attackman, but looked out of place.  Kol struggled down the stretch.  I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Kol does keep his spot and Olexo starts at LSM, but maybe I am putting to much into him being a captain.
