10. Towson

 

The ACC is loaded once again, but I predict a strong push from the ECAC. Rob Bateman dominates the field from sideline to sideline and with his help Penn State is poised to make a run. Rutgers is also back but is going to have a tough time replacing Ken Springer's cannon.

 

Who do you see succeeding in 2004

Princeton always has a fantastic team, and im sure will be a threat this year, as well as Syracuse.

Cuse lost a huge weapon in Drew Bucktooth. He is without a doubt the best player on the Iriqouis national team but he seems to be acacemically ineligible every other year.

Princeton suffered huge losses on defense and must replace 3 time all american Damien Davis, but Ricky Schultz and Ryan Watson are more than capable to fill in. Drew Casino is deadly on face-offs. Mac Bryson is a big, strong athlete with a right handed cannon who will bull dodge pick corners from 10 yards out. Boyle and Donegar are back on attack but I really dont foresee Princeton making much of a title run. They have great lacrosse players but are lacking in athletic abiltiy at the midfield and on defense. They do however have two excellent keepers in Law and Larkin so anything is possible.
