Defensively, La Roche allowed 23 fewer goals in 2024 than the year prior, as 44 crossed this past season. AMCC Player of the Week honoree and Preseason Player to Watch, Maddox Anderson will play between the pipes for the Redhawks, after starting all 16 games last season.

Penn State Behrend earned the top spot in the poll, ahead of Mt. Aloysius and defending co-conference champion, Alfred State in third.
