NESCAC: Bowdoin, Wesleyan-CT, Tufts, Williams, Amherst and Middlebury have clinched conference playoff spots. One more loss each from Bates, Colby, and Hamilton, and things get more interesting in the battle for the last 3 spots

North Atlantic: East-- Maine Maritime, NVU-Johnson, Husson and Maine-Presque Isle are in.
West--SUNY-Delhi, SUNY-Cobleskill, SUNY-Poly and Cazenovia are in.

Little East Conference: Plymouth St., WCSU, ECSU, Keene State, UMass-Dartmouth and UMass-Boston are in--2 thru 6 tie-breaker scenarios as follows:

WCSU: vs. So. Maine

Keene State: vs. Rhode Island College
UMass-Boston: vs. Castleton

2-team ties: WCSU: beat ECSU, beat UMass-Dartmouth, lost to Keene State, lost to UMass Boston
ECSU: beat UMass-Boston, lost to WCSU, lost to Keene State has UMass Dartmouth yet.
Keene State: beat ECSU, beat WCSU lost to UMass-Boston, lost to UMass Dartmouth
UMass Boston: beat WCSU, beat UMass Dartmouth, beat Keene State, lost to ECSU
UMass-Dartmouth: beat Keene State, lost to UMass-Boston, lost to WCSU: has ECSU yet
ECSU and UMass-Dartmouth can not finish in a 2 way tie with each other.

In the event of a 4 way tie: UMass Boston went 3-1; Keene State went 2-2: WCSU went 2-2: ECSU can finish 2-2 at best, 1-3 at worst. Ditto for UMass Dartmouth. UMass Boston would appear to have the advantage. Keene State, WCSU and UMass-Dartmouth/ECSU winner would go through a further tie-breaker procedure (Now watch, either Southern Maine, RIC or Castleton pull off an unexpected upset and make all this for naught)
