Nichols at Anna Maria- Nichols 24-17

Plymouth at Mount Ida- Ida 17-10

St. Lawrence at Norwich- St. Lawrence 41-17

Plymouth vs mt. Ida and the maritime game are the most interesting to me. Should be able to get a good read on where each teams season is going from there.

My picks,

Sep. 4   
        Becker      Fitchburg St.             42-6 Fitchburg
   Mount Ida      Mass.-Dartmouth.        21-14 Mass-Dartmouth

Sep. 5   
        Norwich      Rensselaer                     28-14 rip
   Maine Maritime      Maritime (N.Y.).   21-14 suny maritime
   Alfred      Husson                35-24 Alfred
   Castleton      Plymouth St.        42-14 castleton
   Gallaudet      Shenandoah.               35-14 Shenandoah

Hopefully the ecfc can pull out a couple more then I'm guessing but we will have to wait and see. Can't wait for all these game.

No I'm actually a castleton university fan. I just think Husson will have a good team this year and it will be a tough test to possibly beat them at home. Also hope that Norwich and Husson who have the hardest out of conference games can make some noise for the conference this year.

Can't wait for the season to start!!

Really excited for the season to get under way. I think that some of the top tier teams should have some really good early season tests and can maybe pull of an upset or two. I think the conference will come down to Husson or castleton.

Should be a great game that's for sure. The nice thing about castleton is they have a very talent heavy junior and sophomore class. They only have 2 senior starters this year(1 o and 1 d). But I'm really liking what this new coach has brought to the table.

It was another what could have been game and maybe season for castleton. If you told me there defense would hold a team to less than 25 point last year I would say they would win 9-10. But with all the players suspended the offense is going threw the growing pains.

Castleton game was a good and disappointing one today. They def didn't get there doors blown off like last year. Defense played quite well and made some big plays. The offense suffered big time from what I could tell most of the kids suspended where A couple of there top receivers and there qb obviously. Very well could have been one of those what if games! One last note is the kicker from endicott is one of the best d3 kickers I have seen. Great game for him.

Wow that's crazy

castletons offense looked really good, new sophomore qb looked terrific, defense just could not stop anything. hopefully they improve in the future because there offense could be something special. a win is a win i guess. norwich played RPI very strong the whole game witch was nice to see.

Any picks for this up and coming week of ecfc football?

I'm an ecfc fan but I think the Becker game can go either way and I would hope ida and castleton can win by at least one more td than that. But im Just excited for the season to start!

Ya I think that mt. Ida and castleton definitely have a chance to have better records than they said in kick off. Mt. Ida on paper with who they have returning should at least be the second best team in the division in my opinion. But that why they play the games. Can't wait for the season to start!

Any one know if Gallaudet, Norwich or Ida have had or have any scrimmages coming up?

I personally think that Norwich is 1 to 2 spots to high. I think Gallaudet is better and castleton will give them a run for there money.

Any one know if there team scrimmages castleton next weekend? Would love to catch some preseason action haven't heard anything yet.

Dlip do you know if union is scrimmaging castleton again this year. I know they have done it the last two years but wasn't sure if it would continue or not.
