Season outlook: Dirigo graduated the majority of an experienced, battle-tested team that was the top-ranked club in the 2015 regular season. Younger players will need to step up in key spots. Arsenault will be the Cougars’ horse on the hill. Brown is still recovering from an injury sustained during wrestling season. His return should solidify the top end of the order. The Cougars will open the campaign at preseason favorite Monmouth, so they won’t have the luxury of easing into the schedule.
