4. Washington and Lee
Coming off a season in which they claimed their 10th straight league title, the Generals must replace ODAC Player of the Year and first team All-American Haley Tucker, who recorded 86 points and finished as the school’s career leader with 251 draw controls. All-American Caitlin Anderson returns to anchor the defense, while Katherine Faria, who tallied 47 points as a freshman, and Landon Shelley will pace the offense.
3. Salisbury
The Sea Gulls are proof that you don’t need a lineup full of All-Americans to succeed. Salisbury finished as the national runner-up while placing nobody on the 16-player All-American first team, and having only one member each on the All-American second and third teams. They must replace seven senior starters, including the entire attack unit that accounted for 112 goals. Third-team All-American Alexis Strobel, second in the nation with 73 assists, is among the returnees.
