MCLA-A 2008 Outlook: Group 2
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2007 11:17 amDISCLAIMER:
- Information reguarding eligibility and points was taken from the www.mcla.us website, the MCLA All-American Awards, and individual conference awards (excluding honorable mention).
- Without question there will be mistakes in this document. I encourage people to post corrections, or PM them to me.
- Grouping were based on the final 2007 MCLA poll, purely for organizational purposes only
- As new information becomes available or is posted, I will update the original post. I intend for this to be a working document.
NOTES:
- Format = Team Name (Overall Record, Conference Record, T25 Goals For Average, Goals Against Average)
- Format = Name[Points]<MCLA AA Award>. So “Smith[50] <3rd>” meant Smith marked 50 pts and was named to the MCLA All-American third team.
- Defensemen and FOS are indicated only if they were provided MCLA or individual conference awards
- “?” next to a players name indicates they have remaining eligibility, but their return to the program in 2008 is under question (i.e. graduated).
- Coaches are encouraged to post an 8-10 sentence 2008 outlook summary, that highlights their expectations for returning players and rookies.
