Agreed, airball, lot of wins to be had on that schedule!
Wasn't all that familiar with Stevens, but after doing some digging (very detailed record book on their site) turns out they have been pretty good for a while. From 2001-11, when the last coach (John Crane) was there, they went to seven postseason tournaments (5 conference, two ECAC) and played in four championship games (3 conference, 1 ECAC) and went to regionals in 2002. Also had six 20+ win seasons, including five of last seven years before the coaching change after 2011 season.
Program looks like it was bad before that, never more than 12 wins in a season...looks like Crane got it going in the right direction and that is continuing under Kristaps Aldins today. Hope they make it competitive in the E8 this season, will be great for the league to possibly get 3 in!
