Some early observations from the CAC for me-
Mary Washington - Off to a very nice 3-0 start, but I don't believe that they will be at the top for long. York and St. Mary's are just better teams shooting wise.
York - Struggling a little bit with that shooting in the previous few games, and just lost a heartbreak in OT against St. Mary's...I see York finishing as the number 2 team in the conference this year.
St. Mary's - A surprising loss to Frostburg St. in the POM Tourney, but they have played well since then, proving that they aren't overrated. Next game on the 11th against Hood is going to be interesting after easily defeating them in semi's of POM.
Hood - Very inconsistent bunch, but they are off to a 2-1 start nonetheless. The defense hasn't been as good as advertised, especially after last season. I know they have some guys coming off of injuries, and will see how they heal up and do the rest of the season.
Frostburg State - Just fell to Hood in their last match on the road, played very well but gave up the lead late through the 2nd half. Very fast, talented bunch who could make some noise in their 1st year in the CAC. I really like Koffa, quick, agile player.
Wesley - They showed that they can grind it out and come back on the road against Hood when they came back from 16 down in the 2nd half for the W. That was big. Loss to York not surprising. Will be a good game against Stevenson next Tuesday.
Salisbury - Not a very impressive squad this year, and that was expected with the loss of Greg Palmer. You have to win the majority of the games in conference at home to have a chance at the playoffs, so lets see if they can do that. Proved it against Marymount, not against Hood.
Stevenson - Gutsy play out of this team so far of which no one expected anything from. Lost big to St. Mary's, but wasn't expected to compete. Great win against Hood in the POM and also against Salisbury. Woody is a great addition back to the team.
Marymount - Really struggling this season, getting blown out by York and Salisbury. They just don't have the firepower that is needed to compete this season, I see them finishing where they currently are, at the bottom of the standings.
Can't wait until the season continues on!
