Outlook: Wong was a first-team all-conference player and Sirois was on the second team. Hersi, another all-conference selection, leads a solid group of upperclassmen that should keep the Blue Devils in the hunt in the KVAC. Lewiston has considerable experience and hopes to earn another trip to the postseason.
