WLCALUM83 · October 14, 2021, 10:31:34 AM

Squads doing better than expected in in-conference play to this point:

GNAC: Elms (Regis only Top 3 squad they haven't played yet, but Norwich and St. Joe's ME could still spoil things some for Elms)

Little East: Plymouth State (10/23 match with ECSU appears to be THE ONE to watch in the LEC at this point)

NESCAC: All of the top half of the conference is good, another typical dogfight. I'd say Williams, (they've snuck into the mix with the Ranked/ARV squads.)

NAC: East: NVU-Johnson: Upcoming match with Maine-Maritime is THE ONE to watch in the NAC East
West: Cobleskill: (Still have to play Delhi and Poly yet, though.)
