SEASON OUTLOOK
With the loss of all-MIAC performers Nate DeMars and Frank Savino, the Cardinals will be looking for a number of players to step up and take the reigns of SMU's high-powered offensive attack. "We've got a number to talented individuals back," said SMU coach Don Olson. "Now it's time for them to step up to the plate. We need everyone contributing this year - we can't afford to sit back and rely on someone else to carry the load." With Savino and DeMars gone, senior captain Randy Gallatin (White Bear Lake, Minn.) has stepped out of the shadows and assumed his spot on center stage. Gallatin scored 14 goals and added 16 assists a year ago, and his leadership - both on and off the ice - are the perfect foundation for the Cardinals to build around.
