By on March 4, 2013 in Bryant, Long Island, Mount St. Mary's, NEC, Robert Morris, St. Francis (PA), Wagner

Rather than have John and I release our consensus NEC individual awards, we decided to give each of us a say in who we would choose. As you’ll see, there was some disagreement for a couple of the categories, and we here at Big Apple Buckets support the First Amendment! Onto the five major awards…

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. Instead it has become even more muddled as Central Connecticut defeated Sacred Heart and St. Francis Brooklyn lost at Mount St. Mary’s.
