Bowling Green
Tommy Burke, SR(23 games, .920/2.18), Chris Nell, SO(13 games, .917/2.32), Tomas Sholl, JR(5 games, .909/2.58)
Incumbent starter Tommy Burke faced heavy pressure for his starting job from freshman Chris Nell last season. Nell got off to a blazing hot start to begin his rookie season, compiling a 6-0-1 record, but cooled off as the season progressed, going 0-4-1 in his final five starts of the season.
Those two will likely be competing for the starting role again this year. Burke has shown steady improvement in each of his three seasons at Bowling Green--mirroring the steady rise of Bowling Green's program--and is likely the favorite to see the majority of playing time, unless the younger Nell makes a big jump in development in his sophomore year.
