Navy Sole Survivor of Titanic Two Weeks. The past two weeks have been brutal on the majority of teams in the Patriot League. Army had an unthinkable loss to Presbyterian. Holy Cross lost to midwest power(?) Loyola of Chicago. Lafayette went down to Fordham, Central Connecticut and Hartford, while a young Colgate team struggling to score, lost at home to Kennesaw State. Bucknell took it on the chin against Wagner. had a twenty point loss to Stonybrook, and preseason conference  favorite American bowed to Mount St. [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2008/12/13/checking-in-on-the-patriot-league-2/feed/ 0 2008-09 Season Primers: #23 – Patriot http://rushthecourt.net/2008/10/19/2008-09-season-primers-23-patriot/ http://rushthecourt.net/2008/10/19/2008-09-season-primers-23-patriot/#respond Mon, 20 Oct 2008 00:54:51 +0000 http://rushthecourt.net/?p=1589
