FB: Conference of New England

[d3fan142511]

Anna Maria their RB Small back...However losing their QB and Conception their offense has taken a step back. Their defense has always been a weak point and they did not show signs of improvement in week 1. Do not know much about Maine though.....I forgot Salve beat Montclair last year. I think it is tougher to go on the road to win a big game like this. I hope Salve does win.

Went throught the play by play of the Salve Regina game, it appears that it really went to the last play. I think that Salve is going to be a good team to watch the remaining of the season.

5-3 last week...even though I won the West Conn game I missed on the score bad!

Week 3 Predictions

Mass Maritime 42
Maine Maritime 10

Hampton-Sydney-38
Coast Guard-17

Kean -24
Endicott-21

Only three games on the schedule this week. I hope Endicott can pull off a big win vs Kean.

Wow Hobart, nothing says preparing themselves for the NCAAs like scheduling two schools from a conference that have won 2 NCAA playoff games in it's entire existence....

Was Norwich or Mt. Ida busy those weekends???

No, RPI and Springfield had them booked already.

I would guess it would be a good thing for NEFC by scheduling Hobart. Makes their schedule look better, good job for them.

Hobart (HWS overall) also has a HUGE alumni base (some even have blazing speed) in Boston (probably second to NYC).  I imagine the Advancement Office will love having back to back "Boston games" and they did just hire a guy / fundraiser who's based out of Boston (vs. Geneva).  That could have something to do with it too.

Absolutely agree, good job by those two teams to schedule up!

Going to be very interesting within the NEFC this year...looking forward to the conference getting better to improve the East outlook...I know next year the NJAC is going to help out with that with both CNU and Wesley joining.

Congrats to WNEC on the hard fought win over Springfield last night. That is turning into a nice rivalry. Very impressed with WNEC's offense.

First two games in the series both were classics. Last years game was set to come down to a game tying field goal at the end of regulation until a pick six ended it.

Love the offense and grit of the team. Could've easily have given up after the fumble for a TD by Springfield to go up 11. They have some concerns on the defensive side, especially the secondary, but if Ward ends up being the answer at QB that he appeared to be last night then that offense is going to carry them into NEFC contention.
