Keystone defeated VJC in the Conference Tourney.

The NEAC is "Pool B" this year.

Keystone is provisional and is ineligible for the NCAA playoffs.

neac has an automatic bid for 2007

[Ralph Turner]

Welcome, ptizzle.  Glad to have NEAC posters!

Who do you like in the NEAC this year?

[ptizzle]

keystone and villa julie are definitely always the favorites...... i think some other teams will make some noise this year

[FightingBlueJays07]

Polytech player here
Good to see a message board for the NEAC, hopefully it gets used

Last year's debacle is very far in the past, this year's team is ready to turn some heads

[d3fan039]

I hear the NEAC has an Automatic bid this year.....does that mean there or more POOL A bids this season, or did one of the other conferences drop off???

[Ralph Turner]

Actually, this bid comes from the allocation to Pool B.  There should be one less Pool B this year.

Remember that Keystone is a provisional team, and thus ineligible for the NCAA's.  Does the NEAC permit Keystone to compete for the conference championship, tho?

[ptizzle]

Keystone can compete for the conference championship....
if they win it
the runner up will recieve the automatic bid

SO any news on how some of the NEAC teams going to do this year.   Keuka got a new Coach so who knows how good they will be with coaches switching every year what good player is going to want to go there.  And we all no D'youville won't be that good.  Even if they are a little better then last year they won't beat most of the teams.   At the end of the year the standings will probably look like this:

1. Keystone College
2. Villa Julie College
3. Cazenovia College
4. Philadelphia Bible
5. Keuka College
6. Purchase College
7. Polytechnic Univ.
8. Penn State-Berks
9. D'Youville College
10. Baptist Bible

let me know what you all think

polytech is a joke.  turning heads... yea, to look at balls flying out of the park

[Spence]

Whole conference is a joke. Can't believe the second best here gets a bid.

D3 Provisional member Keystone leads.  SUNY-Purchase and PSU-Berks are also provisional members.

The conference moves from Pool B to Pool A.  Keystone is ineligible for a playoff slot. The tourney will be played at the #1 seed.
