Kyle Devitte: America East
The America East, once dominated by a high-octane UAlbany team, is now a rowdy bar fight. Albany is still one of the best teams, but Vermont just beat them 10-9 in the same week that the Catamounts lost to UMass-Lowell 8-4 in their worst performance of the season. Then this week, Vermont kept it going with a win against Binghamton. While other teams in the conference have struggled to salvage their seasons — Binghamton and UMBC in particular — other teams have risen up and gained ground. Hartford was winless until its home wins against Stony Brook and UMass-Lowell. The Sea Wolves are currently 3-1 and 7-5 overall; their remaining games are UVM and the Danes. It’s hard to pick a front-runner, but it looks like Vermont might retain its first place spot.

Thinking if they win next two they will place more players on All- Conference team like Albany last year. It's all there for this team, no reason they cannot win out. Clearly one at a time, Go get Vermont!

https://stonybrookathletics.com/news/2019/4/15/mens-lacrosse-haun-named-america-east-offensive-player-of-the-week.aspx

also, with 2 games to go, here's what some key stats look like:

shot % .269 (eh)
SOG % .603 (not great especially considering the past few seasons)
turnovers 15/game (solid, given new rules)
faceoffs .468 (mediocre but consider the improvement)
clearing .876 (ok; new rules considered)
assists 57% (not great considering past years)


haun and rees likely on track for the first team, i hope bollinger too (likely 2nd/3rd at this point).  grippe and pickel might get second, i think pugal should be on there, maybe walsh.  harrell for rookie team. 

if we finish strong, maybe enneguess gets into the mix.  then maybe dugan, pedone, harrison, etc.  these are just early guesses of course.  still some time left.

not sure but i think this means we host at least the first round- even if we lose to the great pains.

the cats create a lot of offense; i think they took 10 shots before we even got one off.  they are able to play in tight spaces (canadian style).  they're competitive because they control the ball and have a talented goalie.  but in the second half, we shut off their strong hands.

the first half, washuta held us in check, he's good.  after a flurry of 7 early goals, bollinger came alive. 

i dont know if anyone saw the faceoff that deskewicz won, but if that's an option, it's a great sign. 

does anybody run harder than matsuoka?  he picked a corner in trransition and you gotta love it.  o'leary had a good game too. GO SB beat ualBaNy

They have to beat Albany at home on Friday to lock down the top seed. The winner will come out with one loss and the head-to-head advantage. If SB wins, Vermont would get the #2 because they beat Albany head to head. If Albany wins, SB gets the #2 because they beat Vermont.

Strange thing I see is that the men and women will play their semis and finals on the same day. SB women have to win next Sunday at New Hampshire to lock that down but it means there would be four games played in one day at LaValle on May 2.

Someone is being generous, considering the RPI is in the bottom half (44 of 72 teams).

Stony Brook surge
It’s been a good month for Stony Brook. After dropping a game against Hartford, the Seawolves have won four-straight America East games. Saturday, it was a 10-9 comeback win against Vermont.

That puts Stony Brook in a position to earn the top spot and hosting rights for the America East Tournament. The Seawolves host UAlbany, 7 p.m. Friday.

Must win game Friday night. If this team is on a championship path they need to get this win.  Playing Albany in the AE Championship here in Lavalle or in Albany next Saturday in front of 4,500 fans and an ESPN audience, you tell me.  We want them in our house! The Albany run ends here, starting Friday.
