Coach: Seth Fournier (third year)

Last year’s record: 2-8

Returning players: Seniors — Justin Conant, Justin Richards; Junior — Mitch Stanley; Sophomores — Robbie Babb, Justin Chartier.

Key losses: None,

Promising newcomers: Juniors — Nick White, Austin Blodgett.

Outlook: Dirigo was down in the standings last season, but the full year’s worth of experience for all of the players returning to play this season will no doubt help. Conant has been the top golfer for a while now, and he’ll again lead the squad. The Cougars could make the quick leap to contender this year. In scrimmages, the team is already nearly 30 strokes better than last season.

Coach’s comment: “I’d like to see them play for the MVC title this year. I think we have the team to give it a run.” — Coach Seth Fournier
