Season outlook: The Saints are now more than 10 years removed from what could be considered their glory days, but they have every reason to believe that last year was the start of the turnaround. A solid group of freshmen a year ago, now a large and experience sophomore group, got things rolling. More talented young players are in the system this year, and perhaps even more in the pipeline. All of the young talent will support a strong triumvirate of returning seniors, and this team is just about ready to start mixing it up in the middle of the toughest top-to-bottom field hockey conference in Maine.
