With the calendar flipping to September and new college years beginning, can new college lacrosse seasons be that far behind?

It’s not too early to spotlight some of the top players from the region we’ll have an eye on next spring. These can be players coming off award-winning seasons, transfers looking to make a name for themselves in their new homes, or freshmen set to make impacts.

By conference, we will identify five players to watch this coming season. In this post, we look at men from America East, which is up to eight teams this year with the addition of NJIT. Three teams from the region (Hartford, UMass Lowell and Vermont) are joined by others who recruit heavily in New York and the Mid-Atlantic region.
