That is only really true of Wisconsin, but it is true. A lot of Wisconsin kids end up in the WIAC but a bunch end up on rosters in neighboring states as there are a number of D2's in Minnesota, Illinois and Michigan.

Lady Royals schedule is up.
No E-town, Susquehanna or Goucher this year.

 Looks like the men play at the same day/time/opponent, just at the opposite campus location, simultaneously.   

I'm excited to see that conference play is returning! 

I couldn't tell from the Landmark press release:  Are they still planning to have a conference tournament?  The language just says that they are "submitting the League champion as the automatic qualifier." 

I'm assuming that they are, since each team will apparently only have 8 conference games and no out of conference games (which leaves them short of the NCAA minimum of 9 games for postseason competition) but I'm not seeing anything to that effect either on the Landmark site nor the sites of the 5 colleges that are participating.

Tim,
Not sure where at the moment, but I did read there will be a tournament & all 5 teams will be involved.
Lady Royals will start the season at a bit of a disadvantage as their opening opponent (Moravian) will have already played 2 games before the Lady Royals meet them.
The kids will need to adjust quickly

 There is a conference tourney for all 5 teams, so everyone is scheduled for at least 9 games - 8 regular season & 1 conference tourney game at a minimum. Play-in game between seeds 4 & 5, then winner plays seed 1 in the semis.

That's exactly what I would have suggested had I had any input whatsoever.  I'm glad they listened  to my unexpressed thoughts. 

Anyone wishing to "attend" the games this season in the Long Center can upload a photo for a cardboard cutout to be displayed there for $60. Cutout will be yours at the season's end. 

That's what NEPAFAN shared a couple posts prior

I debated it to see if anyone would spot it.

HAHA that makes sense.

 Since the Landmark season commences in 10 days, here is my annual forecast:

1. Scranton
2. Drew - almost a tie for 1st
3. Catholic -  roster hasn't been updated yet to project the incoming freshmen
4. Juniata - mainly on the presence of Grace Stauffer
5. Moravian

Based on Moravian's website, it now looks like the Greyhounds will have 3 games under their belts before the Lady Royals open with them.
This difference may end up being huge in such a compressed schedule.
