USM is a young team with only 2 seniors: if they can learn how to be consistent and not waste at bats swinging at the first pitch, they could surprise...Next year is the year that they are going to be scary good...

[KSCfan]

I was looking at the LEC standings and Keene and UMD are currently tied in the 6th spot which is the last spot for the LEC tournament.  They play this weekend so essentially its the stat of the LEC tournament as they are playing to get in.  How does the tie breaker work if they split?  Is it overall record or is it record vs top seeds? 

I guess im asking does Keene need to sweep UMD to get into the tournament?

I follow all of the KSC teams...and I believe they do need to sweep.

We currently have:
PSU 5-7 (I believe they are in regardless)
UMD 4-8
KSC 4-8

KSC plays UMD on Friday and PSU hosts Western Connecticut.

A three-way tie at 5-9 would not favor the Owls.  You first look at head-to-head among those three teams.  PSU went 3-1 against UMD and KSC, so that would advance them out of the tiebreaker.  You'd then go back to the first tiebreaker for KSC and UMD.  The reason why the Owls and Corsairs cannot tie is because UMD has a win over Eastern Connecticut, while KSC doesn't (they both got swept by UMB, USM and split with RIC).  Therefore, a tie between the Corsairs and Owls at 5-9 would go to UMD.

How does the tie breaker work if they split?  Is it overall record or is it record vs top seeds?

EDIT:  And to answer this part of your post, the tiebreakers are head-to-head record first and then you compare records against teams in order of their finish (beginning with first place and on down).
