SAINTS GEAR UP FOR 2004 SEASON

Feb. 24: Veteran St. Lawrence University Men's Lacrosse Coach Mike Mahoney is excited about his close knit 2004 team.

"As a group, this year's team is the tightest we've ever put on the field. They get along and are all friends and really push each other. Our returning players are proud to welcome and mentor the new guys," Mahoney said.

Together, this united team must face a key transition early on in the upcoming season-taking the field without a returning goaltender.
The key to success in overcoming such an obstacle will be for the Saint defense to step up and take charge. Junior Brendan Dooley is one of three goalies ready to fill that role.

"Dooley has game experience and when given the opportunity he did an excellent job. I am very conficent that he is ready to take to the nets," Mahoney said. Sophomore Will Timbers and freshman Justin Demouth will be backing up Dooley this season.

Mahoney is hoping that an early adaptation and a tough first set of games will be just the thing the team needs to help solidify the defensive end.

Before the team departs for their spring break games in Florida, the Saints will travel to Rochester and take on Nazareth, a team that has been consistently strong in Division III lacrosse. St. Lawrence will test the waters in Florida with games against Bowdoin and Roger Williams.

"The competition will be strong in the beginning of our schedule," Coach Mahoney said, " We want to be able to test our skills early and make adjustments before our league play, which will be pivotal in determining post season action."

Mahoney's ultimate goal is to have the team's performance peak through conference games and eventually make the Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association Tournament.

There are a number of new comers that are expected to contribute to the Saints success. An athletic Nick Mastine is expected to give a top performance in the attack position. Pete Glass is another freshman who will help the Saints out. As a High School All American, Glass has been proving himself at the attack position in preseason practices.

At midfield, Andy Centauro is a good two-way midfielder who can play both sides of the game, according to Mahoney. Joining Centauro is Brendan Lynch, a big strong midfielder with solid offensive skills. Mahoney is also excited about Willy Lapinski who had a great career in Canton at Hugh C. Williams High School.

Helping out in defense are Brian Crowley, J. J. Hearty and Brad Liston. Crowley, also a member of the St. Lawrence University Football Team, has made good strong impressions on the field while Hearty is a fast athlete and great defender and Liston enjoys a fast paced game.

Returning players include attackman Tim Loveless, who was given honorable mention in the preseason All American poll. Other attackers include former Rookie of the Year and First Team All Conference Josh Feine and Evan Robins who had a big senior season at Guilford.

Preseason All American Pete Dolan is healthy and expected to be an offensive leader at midfield. Alex Moore, who also received honorable mention in the preseason poll, had a breakout sophomore season and elevated his play. Chris Hanbury packs a defensive punch and Bryan Dunn has had an impressive preseason presence.

Defensemen/midfielder Dave Bromell will return for his fourth year as a starter in the long pole position. Joining him are seniors Tim Barnhorst and John Quackenbush and sophomores Caleb Loftus and Matt Scrafford.

Tripp Bartlett, who has had significant playing time in the past, will lead the newcomers in the defensive end. Freshman Harry Burg will also be a long pole while short sticks Lincoln Davie, Trevor Rainville and Shawn Mayo-Pike have been converted to defensive midfielders.

The Saints will play their first game against Elmira at Cornell at 4 p.m. on Saturday March 6.
