If the defending champion Yale Bulldogs lost some punch to graduation, they've already made some steps to ensure the blow isn't too bad.
With faceoff specialist Connor Mackie off playing professionally, Yale didn't have to wait too long for a replacement. Albany FOGO TD Ierlan, after weeks of speculation, will suit up for the Bulldogs next season.
Ierlan made noise as one of the best faceoff specialists in the country as a sophomore, but after the Great Danes loss in the national semi finals to Yale, it became clear he was looking for another option for the upcoming season.
