Season outlook:
With the loss of two All-Americans and a few other big producers, Etown’s line up will look very different this year. All-Americans Quint Eno and Bill Meaney have graduated, leaving some holes to fill.  They still return a pair of Metro Conference top 3 placewinners including the dangerous Julian Meaney. Etown will have a talented but young squad looking to improve on their 11-6 record from last year.  As with every year, health will be a big factor for success for this team. The lineup will be young, so they will be counting on some new faces as well as some new starters to lead the team into competition in the Mideast Region.
