Beaulieu, the team's leading defensive catcher from Shoreview, Minn., is slated to handle a large portion of the duties behind the plate for the Maroon and Gold in 2002.
Kennedy returns as the anchor in an experienced Golden Gopher outfield. The right fielder from Minnetonka, Minn. is a leading candidate for postseason honors this upcoming season.
Welch, a shortstop from Missoula, Mont., returns as the team's second-leading hitter and as the left side of a starting middle-infield that turned 31 double- plays last season.
Woodrow enters 2002 with the best strikeout-walk ratio on the team. The savvy right-hander from Plymouth, Minn. will be the leader on a young, but talented pitching staff.
Broehm joins the Golden Gophers as a transfer from Waldorf Junior College in Forest City, Iowa. The 6-6, 210-pound right-hander from Winona, Minn. looks to have an immediate impact on the Minnesota starting rotation.
