Which team is going to challenge Babson this upcoming season?

Is that a typo or are they really playing Williams twice??
Aside from the obvious Tufts, Williams, Smith's, etc, I think Plattsburgh can give them a run for their money.  Last year was their best season in like 20 years, and I think the majority of the players were juniors.  WPI is another team I think can make some noise in the NEWMAC.  Really looking forward to those Smith Babson games.  May have to skip out on Western on November 23 and drive up to Babson park to see that game.

hey 7,

I think the November game will be against a Williams tourney opponent, not necessarily Williams.

Babson has a very young team, only 2 juniors , no seniors and of course Sarah Collins is gone.

85 game conference winning streak is on the line.

This is the year to get em.  They should win the first match at home against Smith, but I think Smith will get them in the return home game later on in the season.   Those games should be really fun to watch.  I'd watch out for WPI too.

Happy New Year to all D3 basketball players, coaches and fans!!

Good luck to all the NEWMAC teams, players and coaches!

NEWMAC 2014 preseason poll picks Babson and Smith as favorites to win conference title.

Babson is a very young team. The "big three" All-Americans' , King, Wurdeman and Sarah Collins graduated in 2012 and 2013 .  No seniors on 2014 roster. Only one returning junior letterman, Captain, Erin Young , one junior transfer , 7 returning sophomores including NEWMAC 2013 Rookie of the year Linnett Graber and 5 incoming frosh. Very good WBB program and very well coached. 

Five consecutive conference championships and an 85 game conference win streak is at stake and on the line w/ the conference opener @ home  V  Coast Guard Academy on November 20th.

Conference foes, Smith, Wellesley and WPI should be very competitive.  They also face Williams in a season tip off tournament in Williamstown and Williams again in Daytona Beach, FL in a holiday Christmas tournament match-up. As well as an NCAA tournament rematch in mid-February against NESCAC foe, @ Tufts .

Good luck to all D3 teams, players, coaches and fans!!

Babson off to tough start, after graduating Sarah Collins.  They are a young team but have talent and good coaching. They will get better playing as a team each game.

Wheaton and Coast Guard Academy look very good   !

Good luck to all the ladies and teams in their holiday tournaments!   What a great time of year !!

Wheaton on a roll!!, pounded WPI last night !

Congrats and keep it going

MIT gets big win at Wheaton 60-59.  Congrats to Engineers!    Just goes to show what a scramble the NEWMAC promises to be this season.   Smith coming on......saw them beat MIT the other night and marvel at how Coach Hersey gets them to play.....looks like they kept it going v. Springfield tonight.....if I were the rest of the NEWMAC I would take note.
Anyone have thoughts on what's up with Clark?....why did Reilly and Grondin not start?.....their season thus far does not make sense to me.  Having said that, MIT has never won at Kneller in my memory...will be a very tough and very important game for the Engineers on Saturday....hopefully they won't be in a trance following big upset of Wheaton tonight.

[MVP]

Congratulations to MIT for win over Wheaton
