Not many Northeast programs can compete early season with the southern programs early in the year. I don't think anybody thinks a team from the CAA is a national championship contender when you are competing against the SEC/Big 12/etc

They still have the potential to make a lot of noise and it will be interesting to see how they handle the CAA this year.

Problem is, the CAA has a few Southern teams like College of Charleston, which just lost a one-run game to Clemson on Tuesday. They had 10-game winning streak before they dropped the final game to William & Mary over the weekend. They even beat Coastal Carolina. And Elon opened its season playing three tight games against Kentucky, then kicked butt on a few northern teams themselves.

Seawolves get their first taste of in-conference Southern hospitality when they go down to Charleston this weekend. By the way, that's where the CAA tournament will be played.

Thank you for the insight, Voice.. I agree with everything you just said. The CAA is no AE. SBU is going to have a tough time competing with all southern school in sports. Even SB women’s Lax is going to struggle against some teams. But that is a good thing. Maybe this athletic department can get their heads out of their asses and focus on hiring real coaches and real AD. Who wants to get this program on the map

Northeastern has probably been the most consistently good baseball program from the North in the CAA along with Hofstra and they have won the last two tournaments between them.  UNCW has been the best in the conference since East Carolina left many, many years ago. Campbell comes to the CAA next year and has been really good for quite some time.  They will probably be one of the best programs in the CAA when they get here.  Trips to the Carolinas with Elon, Campbell, UNCW and Charleston will be tough.  William and Mary has been good as well.  The good thing is that there will be chances to get good wins in conference play.
