After setting a school record for wins last season, the Saints (18-15-1, 11-12-1) return their entire roster this year and have a shot at hosting a quarterfinal game this year.

The bulk of St. Lawrence's offense comes from a top forward line consisting of three talented seniors-- Caroline Trudeau (17 g, 16 a), Nicole Kirnan (12 g, 19 a) and Stacy Bourdrias (14 g, 14 a). But the Saints don't lose much on the second line, which features a trio of sophomores in Amanda Sargeant (15 g, 14 a), Chera Marshall (13 g, 11 a) and Shannon Smith (8 g, 15 a).

Flanagan has a plethora of bodies to choose from for goaltender. Seniors Emily Stein and Caryn Ungewitter platooned between the pipes last season, but expect rookie Rachel Barrie and sophomore Shari Bryska to compete for time in the net as well.

St. Lawrence is not quite as deep at the blueline, where juniors Meghan Maguire (3 g, 14 a) and Colleen Coakley (2 g, 6 a) will see plenty of minutes.
