Season Outlook:
The goal is the same for the Hawks but in a different city – make a splash on the National scene and bring some hardware back from Roanoke, VA in March. The Hawks look to reload as they graduate NCAA qualifier Nicholas Barbaria. Tyler Gazaway, Taylor Shay and Connor Humphries return as NCAA Qualifiers as well Region Placer, Brett Leonard. The Hawks also return three Academic All-Americans who look to repeat this season – Connor Humphries, Sean Wieck and Brett Leonard.
There have been some strong additions to the roster and many look to make a splash in the starting lineup.
The schedule is set for the Hawks as they travel to Louisville, Kentucky for the National Duals and Pennsylvania a number of times for the Monarch Invitational (Kings College) and the New Standard Invitational (York). The squad is looking to also make a 6th straight New England Duals finals. The Hawks will also face D2 top 10 Wheeling Jesuit in a dual.
