[lax4evr]

Does anyone have the dates for the fall tournament that Stevenson usually hosts?
I think it is the Nick Myers tournament

Stevenson to field men's football team:

In an age of Title IX, and men's teams being cut, It's kind of nice to see the former women's colleges like Stevenson and Randolph adding men's sports to their offerings...

Sweeeet.....!!!

I would imagine that any prospective coach(s) would have to have close ties to the area.

Any names being tossed about?

Also, as w/ NESCAC, allowing athletes to play multi. sports should be very appealing.

Does anyone know who the 2010 recruits are ?

[slowandez]

How is fall practice looking? Is there any freshman or transfers that are standing out?

[Dthree-Lax]

and I think starting a football program will help the overall program exposure at the school, and thus make it more attractive to upcoming lax players who don't know much about the school.

It's a little quiet now but there are quite a few fans excited for the season to start.

I understand that we are playing Western New England, Roanoke and Salisbury all at home.

Well since no one seems to want to talk about this years team and I am bored at work I figure I can give it shot.

Here is what we know... Last season the team had its first #1 ranking in the history of the school. The team played well through out the season and at times looked like they deserved to be called the top team in country. After avenging a disappointing loss to Salisbury at home the team looked poised to make an appearance in Boston. However, in the end they came up short in the semi finals against a tough Gettysburg team that flat out just wanted it more and played better.

In my mind there are two challenges facing Stevenson in 2010. 1) Replacing/Reloading the players who have since graduated 2) playing the season with a sense of urgency and not resting on their laurels from last years success

Attack - As everyone in the DIII community probably knows by now Stevenson returns arguably the best attack unit in the country. Ford, Dailey, and Kazimer all took All American honors with Dailey and Kazimer both receiving first team honors and Kazimer being name attack-man of the year. It is no secret that this veteran unit will bare most of the burden for the offense this year.

Defense - Perhaps one of the most underrated D units in the country last year, this unit kept Stevenson in games when the offense wasn't playing like their usual selves. The only loss at close was All American Mike Simon. Returning on defense is Hart, Gustavaro, Clark, Douglas, and of coarse Hebert in goal. With a few new transfers and few younger guys stepping up I don't see a shortage of quality poles taking the field in 2010. I would think the Hart and Douglas would be their two top guys and expect them along with Hebert to leading this defense. The biggest loss to the defense is without a doubt mid-fielders Chris Baldwin and Brett Yoder. These two both got snubbed with akalaids this year as they were probably two of the best D middies in the country. They also played a little offense on occasion too...

Midfield - This is definitely where the Mustangs were hit the hardest. Their 4 top middies (Becacqua, Furshman, Yoder, and Baldwin) all have graduated and the team must find players to fill in for these players quickly. The mustangs return a handful of quality mid-fielders such as Maguire, Couglar, lamey and Moffit. Moffit is the best prospect with speed and laser of a shot on the run. However, these players will need to learn how to become more of play makers than roll players which they served as in the past.

Overall look for the veteran Defense and Attack to carry this team early in the season while the midfield gets settled in.

I apologize for grammar, spelling, and not going into as much detail as I would have liked but I didn't have time to proof read thoroughly and they aren't paying me to write on laxpower...

[slowandez]

I heard that Daily is out for the year.

[OrangeLaxFan]

That would be a huge loss if he's out for the year. Their starting attack was a lot of fun to watch last year.

Stangerrang316 - nice comments about the team.

[laxxeerr]

How is there goalie situation?

[get it to x]

How is there goalie situation?

If you check StangerRang316's post above it look's like last years starter Hebert is coming back. Hard to tell by the roster because they also field a JV team, but they have another senior and two sophmore goalies.

Any idea when the 2010 schedule will be released? I have heard they have some great home games, including Salisbury, WNEC and Denison.

How is there goalie situation?

I know they have a very good recruit who was an all-american last year from Charlotte, North Carolina. If the goalie from last season is still there I doubt he will be much of an impact, but I suspect he will be a contender for the starting position in years to come.

[gc1507]

Whats the update on Dailey? I know he has had some bad luck as of late with injuries (knee and shoulder i beleive), hopefully nothing too serious.

[StangerRang316]

How is there goalie situation?

I would def expect to see Hebert between the pipes but I have heard that senior Andrew Harrington had a good fall ball which is good because you need someone to challenge every starter at every posistion. Also heard good things about sophmore Ian Bolland so far.

I heard that Daily is out for the year.

All I know is he did not play in fall ball, I won't speculate as to what that means for the season

Someone had mentioned before that they thought Dwyer was tranferring or looking at Salisbury.
Dwyer is a nice pickup, with lots of potential but he can be hot and cold.
He's extremely talented but didn't show up for some games last year.
Bener could have stolen a good one...
