Additionally, the Minutemen welcome nine newcomers featuring Dean Linden (Fr.), Sean Fernandez-Davila (Fr.), Joseph Bianco (Jr.), Johan Feilscher (Gr.), Kyle Stenzel (Gr.), Bilal Hersi (Gr.), Chris Giglio (Gr.), Layton Purchase (Gr.), and Oliver Akintade (Gr.).

Yale posted an 11-6-3 record last season, going 3-1-3 in Ivy League play. The Bulldogs bested Brown 2-1 to claim its conference championship, advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament after beating Bryant University 1-0.
