MILTON, Mass. – The 2017 Colonels will rely on the guidance and leadership of tri-captains Giancarlo Orsini (Watertown, Conn.), Eric Miller (Hanover, Mass.) and Ben Silvia (Dartmouth, Mass.) as the program looks to make strides in the CCC in 2017.

"As we closed out our season it was clear that these three young men were ready to take reigns of this talented group," said head coach Peter Mendel. "I could not be more excited about the off season and next fall, all three have been tremendous students in the classroom, role models off the field, and will continue to push this team."

With a talented squad returning Orsini, Miller, and Silvia will be looked upon to provide guidance, leadership, and increase the competitive edge in training.

The Colonels open up the 2017 season Sept. 1 in an away contest at Emerson College.
