2018 Outlook
Preseason Prediction: 2nd
Franklin & Marshall has finished first or second in the Conference regular season the past nine seasons, winning four Centennial championships during the stretch. The Diplomats have the nucleus to add to those numbers in 2018. Federici, a first-team All-Centennial selection a year ago, is one of the top scorers in the Conference and the region. Tate has been his running mate for the past three seasons and is coming off a 10.2 point, 3.2 assist per game campaign last winter. McGrath stormed on the scene, shooting nearly 60 percent from the floor and earning All-CC honors, while Slyka was named Rookie of the Year. Owana provides depth in the middle, but F&M is looking to a talented freshman class to make an immediate impact. How quickly the youngsters develop will tell the tale of the season for the Blue and White.
