Checking in on the… America East
Posted by rtmsf on February 23rd, 2009Corey Johns is the RTC correspondent for the America East Conference.
Over the past two weeks Boston U and Albany played their way out of contention for the regular season conference championship. Albany just went in a free fall down the standings, losing five straight while Boston U needed to win out for hope but most recently lost to Stony Brook, taking them out. It’s down to Vermont and Binghamton. If Binghamton wins out they are the champion. They beat Vermont twice this year and have the tie breaker. But if they slip at all Vermont is in perfect position to take the title.
