Replacing All-American Conor Healy on attack will be no easy task. Who are some names to keep an eye out for this spring offensively? 

Conor was a huge part of our team’s offense and bailed us out of a lot of close games. He was truly a beast. Replacing him will be tough but we have a ton of returners who will make significant contributions. Look out for Junior Transfer Connor Caffery (Ohio Wesleyan University) who was an All-American last year and can help out team offensively.
