Breaking Out In The Midfield

• Adam Poitras had his freshman season, during which he was a starter on the Greyhounds' first midfield, cut short by the COVID pandemic after he'd scored five goals and dished out seven assists through six games.
• He played in all 16 games as a sophomore in 2021, but his production was hampered as he came back from offseason surgery. As he became healthier throughout the year, his point production increased and he had eight goals and eight assists in the last seven games of the season. That included three three-point games against Navy, Army West Point and Denver.
• This season, Poitras started the year with two goals and an assist at Maryland, and he went for a career-high four goals on February 26 against Rutgers. Currently, he is second on the team with 20 goals, and he is third with 26 points.

Little Bit Of Everything

• Joey Kamish has shown his versatility this year while playing on both the attack and first midfield units. He flashed his goal-scoring ability at Johns Hopkins by scoring three times, and he did it from the distributing end a week later versus Rutgers with a career-high three assists. Through 12 games, he is third on the team in goals (18) and tied for third in points (26), and his seven assists are tied for third.
• In 22 career games, Kamish has scored 34 goals and assisted on 16 for 50 total points.

Higgins In On Midfield Scoring, Too

• While frequently drawing the pole in the Greyhounds' first midfield, Seth Higgins has shown his ability to beat his matchup and be a consistent scorer for the Greyhounds.

• In 11 games, Higgins has scored 11 goals to go with nine assists for 20 points.

Stepped Up Production

• Davis Lindsey missed all of his freshman season with an injury, and more than a year without playing in a game, his start to the 2022 season was slow. He did not log a point in the first four games of the year and had just two assists through six.
• Over the last six games, though, he has five multi-point games with six goals and eight assists. He posted to-date career-highs of two goals, three assists and five points at Georgetown on April 19, tying for the game-high point total.
