Lacrosse Announces 16-Member Incoming Class
9/21/2021 2:15:00 PM | Men's Lacrosse
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Providence College lacrosse Head Coach Chris Gabrielli announced today (Sept. 21) the addition of one graduate transfer and 15 freshmen to the roster for the 2022 season.
The 16-member group is composed of six attackers, six midfielders, three defensemen and one goalkeeper.
The incoming freshmen are currently the 23rd ranked incoming recruiting class in the nation by Inside Lacrosse for 2021 high school graduates, and includes four-star recruit Ryan Bell who is ranked No. 64 in his class. The Friars also add two other four-star recruits in Gregg Dennison and AJ Alexander.
"We are thrilled to welcome 15 talented freshman and one proven grad-transfer to our 2021-2022 roster," Gabrielli said, "We think this group adds a great deal of skill, lacrosse IQ and a winning pedigree to our Program after enjoying very successful high school, and in some cases, post-graduate lacrosse careers. With the departure of nine MBA students, and seven seniors from 2021, the opportunity for our returners and newcomers to fill on-field roles and leadership responsibilities has never been greater."
The team began practice and workouts in early September, and the group of 16 newcomers is highlighted below.
