BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[ECSUalum]

Heartbreaking, Sad, Disturbing, and Unacceptable!!!  In view of what happened at Rutgers, it looks to be the end of an era!!!!!!

The Warriors (21-8-1) play at Western on Tuesday. At 8-2 in conference play, Eastern is in second place in the Little East, behind only Southern Maine (9-1).




Huh, where did he get these standings from, the future ??

Keene beats Plymouth yesterday 5-1.  Improves to 17-16 and 7-3 in conference.  Pretty strong conference record.  Keene has won 6 straight and the owls seem to have "turned the corner" a bit and are playing much better ball.  I was surprised to see Plymouth with a similar record overall but 3-7 in the conference.  Is this the weaker schedule at play that the board was talking about earlier in the year.

Hartford Courant article on Eastern situation.  Interesting to see both sides of the argument.  It will be weird not to see Coah Holowaty in the Eastern dugout

USM Loses to Babson today after being shut out by UMB yesterday. Is the magic dust off the ball? Will the trend continue  through this week end? Hope So! Go KSC...

USM loses again 7-6 today to Babson to fall to 25-6 (7-1 in the LEC): Next up for USM: Sat April   27    Keene St. *    12:00 PM   (DH)

Holowaty retires. Boy, you talk about a bigtime job opportunity for someone...not many come bigger that are truly open. The way Holowaty is going ensures he will not choose his successor, I would assume.

Next 2 weekends decide the LEC Regular Season Title.
Will KSC win 0, 1,2,3 or 4 games vs USM & TEE.
Will TEE be inspired to "win it all for Coach"?
Will USM get back on track?
Could UMB slid into a top 3 spot?

Regardless this is another down year for the once vaunted LEC. USM is the only sure shot at the NCAA tourney unless someone else gets hot and sweeps through the LEC Tourney.

Check back on Sunday.

By my calculation (hillbilly math as it were) if USM sweeps tomorrow they host the LEC Tourney with 11 wins giving them a 3 game lead with 2 to play for all teams. Question is who finishes in second third and fourth. Eastern plays KSC for 2nd with UMassB lurking around with a good shot at 3rd.

My math is not great either, but it looks like my once mighty Panthers might be eliminated from the playoffs?

Actually, they only need to win one of there next 4 LEC games: if they reach 10 wins the best ECSU can do is tie USM and USM owns the tie breaker as the swept the DH between the two teams....

Does anyone know what the tie breakers are to determine seeding or final playoff spots?
