Last year saw the Lancers hit the 25-win mark, an impressive season that saw the Lancers finish in the number three position when it came to their MASCAC conference seeding. The team lost four seniors and one grad student from last year's illustrious squad, but with a wealth of new talent joining this year, they are not feeling hampered. To replace these key figures, recruits were brought in to help the Lancers challenge for a top 2 finish in the MASCAC and come away with even more wins this season. The Lancers play a condensed schedule, thanks to the vagaries of the New England weather, which can see them play around 40 games in 55 days. A majority of these fixtures are doubleheaders making for long days of action on game days. Not all, but a large portion, of the hard work of getting ready to play a college season was done during the late fall and early spring semesters inside batting cages and on turf helped the team get fit and prepare before the team heads on Spring Break to play 12 of their allotted 40 games in a season in one compact week of action.
