MBB: Coast 2 Coast Athletic Conference

[Pat Coleman]

Only one Catholic men's basketball player was eligible, and he was not nominated.

[Matt Letourneau]

Yeah.

I think Dwyer will make it next year.

For what ever it is worth, I understand that Empire 8 is adding becuase one of their members, Rochester Tech, is going to go Division I in the future. This is fairly common knowledge in the NY area. They recently went DI in men's hockey and will likely go in women's too. It is more a matter of survival for them and apparently they have been trying to expand for a long time. I also heard E8 talked to Stevens before they decided to go to the new conference. As to why Stevens pulled out of that bunch I haven't heard but I'd guess they didn't like something or just felt E8 was the better match for them. either way, best not to make assumptions.

It's really similar to the CAC. That newly formed league took members from everyone included Capital which left you needing to add members to survive. So you added Wesley (PAC) Villa Julie (NEAC) and Hood (AWCC). I am guessing no one criticized CAC for their moves and they shouldn't have. I just thought some of this info might be helpful since some had made some assumptions about E8 and Stevens.

I think the criticism here is mostly towards Stevens, which apparently did some old school two timin.'

Thanks Matt - anyways, how does Wesley, Villa Julie and Hood look for you guys? Which sports will be your tops? I know Wesley is very good in football and both hoops teams made ECACs.

The CAC is a football powerhouse. York hasn't lost a football game in decades. As a matter of fact...I believe Mary Wash, Marymount, and St. Mary's have been undefeated for a long time too.

[Matt Letourneau]

That's true.

Those teams literally can't be beaten.

YCP Football.... undefeated since 1787!

[hoopandtheharm]

That really is hilarious, got a good laugh out of that. Aside from football, which CAC is clearly a national powerhouse, how does it look for other sports?

Just heard they evacuated the arena in Cali due to a suspicious package. Let's hope its nothing.

Both York and Salisbury finished ranked in the top 25 this year in Mens soccer.  Salisbury loses a lot of players but York only loses 3-4 so they should be good again next year. 

York's Golf team is also very good, but not well known around campus.

[lefty2]

Wesley went to the final four in football last year, but their best program throughout the years has been golf.

Some very exciting news from YCP as the floor in the "new" Wolf Gym is being painted this week. A dramatically different look from the "old" Wolf Gym. 
The new arena is very bright and should make for an outstanding facility. Of course, anything is brighter than the lights in the old gym.
I will post new photos on the YCP web once the facility is getting ready to open in late April.

[Coach C]

ycp -

They are going to paint the tile?  Or has ycp sprung for actual wood???

C

[ycp]

We will have beautiful, beautiful wood. It makes the whole gym very bright (that along with lighting that doesn't make you wonder if you are in a cave or a gym)

The tile has about seven more weeks of existence. Everyone try to hold back your tears
