Div. 3 Men Preview: Building upon Harry Stanton’s broad shoulders

After stellar 2017, high-scoring attack Harry Stanton and No. 1 Wesleyan welcome weight of high expectations

By Craig FordeMarch 1, 2018

Harry Stanton is no stranger to building on success. The New Canaan, Conn., native arrived on the Wesleyan campus as an accomplished and athletic — but undersized — attackman.

"He came in as a smaller player when he first got here," said Wesleyan coach John Raba, the 2017 USILA Division 3 Coach of the Year. "He was always a dynamic shooter and scorer, but the physicality wasn’t necessarily there. Then he really got after it in the weight room. Lifting and conditioning was a key factor in him to have an outstanding junior year."

Stanton’s hard work in the weight room produced major results on the field. The two-time All-American led the entire nation last season with 86 goals, powering a potent Cardinals offense that scored 306 goals en route to a 20-2 season, in which they won their second NESCAC title and made a run to the NCAA semifinals.
