Offensively, Ivy Rookie of the Year Steve Sirtis is back up front, but the coaching staff is counting on a couple of freshmen to replace Ali and Varney. Jamaican Soloman Gale and New York State High School high scorer Frank Ozello will try to fill the gaps. Goalie is another question mark for the New Yorkers. Last year's second stringer, a former j.v. netminder and a freshmen all vying for the top spot...
