Goldey-Beacom begins what should be yet another successful campaign by being picked to end second in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference South Division based on a vote of the league's coaches.

A dominant scorer back in the fold in junior forward Zayon Marsh (Maplewood, NJ), an all-everything competitor who last season was named first team All-CACC after being picked second team in 2023. One who always is a force when the ball is in his hands thanks to his low-post tenacity, Marsh enters this season 13th in school history with 981 career points, fifth with 249 free throws, fifth with 66 blocks, sixth with 500 rebounds and ninth with 357 field goals.

A player key to the team's success is sophomore Zakari McQueen (Petersburg, VA), an explosive competitor who is one of Goldey-Beacom's most consistent performers. Looking to provide even more offense, McQueen last season was third in the CACC with a .463 three-point percentage and fourth on the team with 37 three-pointers.

Cardin Joubert (Naples, FL) brings plenty of experience and solid play into his senior campaign. Seeking to be an even better player than he already is, Joubert competed in 21 games a season ago with five starts.

Goldey-Beacom (15-14, 10-6 CACC) last season played in the CACC Tournament for the sixth time in the team's last seven competitive seasons.

Jefferson was picked to capture the South Division and Post was tabbed to win the North Division.

Goldey-Beacom opens its season November 8 at home against D'Youville.
