(#318) Previewing teams 58-61 in my preseason rankings

Max Itagaki led Army in scoring as a freshman (Army Athletics)

It's preseason rankings season!

Today, I have a look at teams 61-58 in my rankings. We have in-depth looks at Lindenwood, Augustana, Robert Morris, and Army in this issue.

Lindenwood brings in a big freshman class. Meanwhile, Augustana and Robert Morris are in the same position starting from scratch. This could be the start of a climb up the CCHA for Augustana, and I really like what Robert Morris built in goal and on the blue line to re-enter college hockey.

Army has two top forwards returning and arguably one of its best recruiting classes, with a lot of depth.
