By on February 23, 2013 in Bryant, Central Connecticut, Fairleigh Dickinson, Monmouth, Mount St. Mary's, NEC, Quinnipiac, Robert Morris, Sacred Heart, St. Francis (NY), St. Francis (PA)

Saturday’s NEC action really hasn’t done anything to make the playoff picture clearer.

At least Robert Morris provided some clarity by destroying Fairleigh Dickinson on senior night.

This new NEC looks a lot like the old NEC after Saturday’s action. Once again Robert Morris and LIU Brooklyn are sitting at the top of the standings as Wagner, Bryant and Quinnipiac chase.
