Actually, there's more to the story than that. We have been playing without Connor Gately for the last 3 games. Even without him we've been on quite a ride and remain undefeated in conference with remaining games against Providence and defending National Champs Denver. We also have a game at Duke next Friday - I'd go but my son has a LAX game that night.
19 seniors on this year's squad. Talk about a rebuild next year.
MU also lost one of their best scorers and captain to injury early in the season in Kyle Whitlow.
When LAX started about 4-5years ago, Coach had to fill the roster will a lot of transfers and young players all at once. The transfers were able to use the first year where MU didn't compete as their redshirt year so they could be eligible in MU's first year. I believe the freshmen may have done this same thing and essentially used a redshirt year. A lot of those guys are now graduating.
