Despite being unranked, the Lakers have continued to receive votes in every subsequent national poll. Mercyhurst is coached by Michael Sisti entering his 28th season. The Lakers were voted to finish in second place in the AHA Preseason Coaches' Poll. Freshman forward Halle Duchene leads the Lakers this season with eight points.
