18. Saint Mary’s Gaels

Previous Ranking: 20

Record: 19-2 (9-1 WCC)

Saint Mary’s is still chugging along in the WCC after taking out San Francisco and Santa Clara last week. The Gaels will visit Pacific on Thursday.

It’s been a balanced attack for SMC, but Calvin Hermanson, Jock Landale, and Emmett Naar have been the team’s most consistent statistical leaders. Joe Rahon has also been solid, but players like Dane Pineau and Evan Fitzner have taken steps backward from last season. Their stumbles will keep Saint Mary’s from realizing their ceiling, but plenty of season remains for the efficient team.
