13 PENN
2016 Record // 15-5 (6-1 Ivy League)
Last Seen // Cruising through the first and second rounds before getting doubled up by Penn State in the NCAA quarterfinals.
Starts Lost // 44% Scoring Lost // 59%
Forecast // Penn will take one of the biggest hits, graduating Nina Corcoran, Iris Williamson and Catherine Dickinson. However, the Quakers still have top scorer Alex Condon, and the defense remains mostly in tact. Starting goalie Britt Brown and defender Megan Kelly, who led Penn with 29 caused turnovers, provide a solid foundation. Caroline Cummings also should remain the draw specialist.
ENEMY LINES “HUGE HOLE WITH
CORCORAN GONE — 85 PTS AND QB ON OFFENSE.”
15
JOHNS HOPKINS 2016 Record // 11-8
Last Seen // Getting a tough draw to face state rival Maryland in the second round as one of the few teams to challenge the Terps during the regular season.
Starts Lost // 39% Scoring Lost // 36%
Forecast // It’s a B1G year for Johns Hopkins. The Blue Jays will have a home once again, joining the Big Ten with Maryland, Northwestern and other elite teams. How much will losing Dene’ DiMartino affect production? Sophomore midfielder Miranda Ibello looks to break out alongside junior attacker Emily Kenul.

“BEST OFFENSIVE SCHEME IN COLLEGE LACROSSE. KENUL SHOULD HAVE A BREAKOUT YEAR.”
14 PRINCETON
2016 Record // 11-6 (6-1 Ivy League)
Last Seen // Being on the wrong side of history in an NCAA tournament upset loss to upstart UMass.
Starts Lost // 26% Scoring Lost // 20%
Forecast // Of the Ivy powers, the Tigers return the most, including top scorer Olivia Hompe. The draw is a work in progress, as no clear leader emerged, but Princeton’s ground game will keep it in the hunt.
ENEMY LINES
“ELLIE DEGARMO. BEST BALL STOPPER IN NCAA. THERE ISN’T COMPETITION FOR THIS TITLE.”
