#3 Gonzaga Eagles 

 

 

 

The Eagles are coming off of a twenty win season and their first WCAC title since 2000. There were some ups and downs throughout the season, especially in the middle of the season, but they turned it on when it counted. Gonzaga lost Nicholas Morabito, who was selected by the New York Mets in the 2022 MLB Draft. Morabito was their offensive spark plug at the front. They will need to replace not only his power, but probably more so his game changing speed. The offense should be paced by Marcus LeClair (Virginia Tech), Joseph Zorc (Princeton), Ethan Van Sice (Cornell), Jackson Wilburn, and newcomer Cash McDade should be a welcomed addition to an already potent lineup. In addition to offensive contributions, Van Sice should be a big arm on the mound, where he has flashed a fastball into the low 90's. The workhorse will more than likely be senior UVA commit, Bryson Moore. Moore will work in the upper 80's-low 90's with a breaking ball that is his separator. The Eagles have a stable of secondary arms, see Jack Feehery, but those two will potentially be their two frontline arms, especially when it comes to stuff.

And that is it for the @WCACSports championship

Gonzaga takes the ? with a final score of 9-1 over St. John’s.

Henry Hultquist was fantastic in relief and the Eagle offense never let up. @PBRVirginiaDC #PBRIsThere pic.twitter.com/HChLinwGXG
