Last season, the Friars fell to the Stags, 10-6, on March 23, 2003 in Providence, R.I. The Friars return several key players from last season's championship team including senior defensemen Brian O'Rorke (Montclair, N.J.) and Ben Brown (Ranch Santa Fe, Calif.), junior midfielder Jonathan Hollister (Longmeadow, Mass.) and junior goalkeeper Andrew McMinn (Pittsburgh, Pa.). O'Rorke is a two-time MAAC Defensive Player of the Year and All-MAAC First Team selection at defense. In 2003, he recorded 35 groundballs and now has a total of 120 in his three years with the Friars. Brown, a two-time team captain, has 101 groundballs in his career at Providence and was ranked second among his teammates in 2003 with 44 groundballs. O'Rorke and Brown have been the back-bone of the Friar defensive unit for the last three years. Hollister was the team's leading scorer in 2003 with 27 points on 13 goals and 14 assists. He also registered 35 groundballs while playing at midfield and attack. McMinn returns for his third season with the Friars between the pipes. He finished the 2003 season with a team-leading 46 groundballs, a .605 save percentage and a 6.92 goals against average. McMinn was named to the All-MAAC Second Team for his efforts and finished 4th in the nation among NCAA Division I goaltenders in goals against average and 12th in the nation in save percentage.
