MERIDEN -- New Hampshire coach Mike Beliveau has announced his starters for Saturday's Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl.

Vermont will play New Hampshire at Dartmouth College. The opening kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m.

New Hampshire leads the series 43-13-2 and will be trying to extend its winning streak to 12 games. The starters: 

DEFENSE

DE: Andrew Lauderdale (Trinity)
DE: Dillon Douture (Spaulding)
DT: Raige Hollis (Laconia)
DT: Nick Dragon (Monadnock)
OLB: Conor Donovan (Inter-Lakes/Moultonborough)
MLB: Josh Hughes (Trinity)
OLB: Nick Reisert (Plymouth)
CB: Cam Blewitt (Stevens)
CB: Dylan Spence (Sanborn)
FS: Codey Dalton (Memorial)
SS: Cole Brooker (Plymouth)

OFFENSE

QB: Evan Bidgood (Timberlane)
TB: Jerickson Fedrick (Salem)
LT: Brad Tiernan (Exeter)
LG: Alexander Morrill (Lebanon)
C: Sam Prive (Merrimack)
RG: Eric Miller (Dover)
RT: Adam Morin (Exeter)
SE: Tim Beliveau (Souhegan)
SE: Junior Brown (Central)
SLOT: Chris Chininis (Souhegan)
SLOT: Jordan Garron (Bedford)

Mike Beliveau said Pinkerton's Kevin Davies will rotate with Fedrick, and those two will likely bring in the plays.

"We'll be rotating at a lot of positions," he said. "If you see Bidgood in the first series, that means you'll probably see somebody else at QB the next series. We want to win this game, but everyone who has given up 10 days of their lives we want to get in a good chunk of this game. That's my goal. I've told my position coaches that, and we can live with the result."

*****

Morin tweaked a previous shoulder injury Tuesday morning and was held out of Tuesday's afternoon practice. ... Milford's Jordan Gaudette (knee injury) is expected to return to practice Wednesday. ...  Verrmont has named its captains: Tucker Stone (Hartford), Marshall Hastings (Middlebury), Rob Murray (Hartford) and Ben Thiekien (Bellows Free Academy).
