Region II In-Conference "better than expected" squads to this point:

NEWMAC:  Coast Guard, Smith, and Clark (CG has Springfield, WPI and MIT yet, wins in first and last matches would be strong statements) Smith gets Wellesley, Springfield and Babson:  Clark gets Emerson, Wellesley and Wheaton-MA. Smith has probably got the toughest schedule.) On paper, I'd expect Clark to move up a bit, but as they say, anything can happen.

MASCAC:  A bit too early, but Worcester State gets the nod at the moment, should that squad and Framingham State keep winning, both squads will be playing for the top in-conference spot 10-30.

TCCC:  Again, early--Wentworth, but that squad has to play Roger Williams, Nichols and ARV Endicott yet.

Region II Conference Race Updates:

TCCC: Endicott, Roger Williams, Wentworth, Gordon and Salve Regina appear to have clinched conference tournament playoff spots.

MASCAC:  If Worcester State beats Framingham State, Worcester State gets the top seed. A Framingham State win, and a Westfield State win over Mass-Maritime would create a 3 way tie at the top.

In that event:  Worcester State would be 1-1, having beat Westfield State
                      Framingham State would be 1-1, having lost to Westfield State
                      Westfield State would also be 1-1

                      Further tie-breaker procedures would come into play.

UPDATE:  Worcester State won this morning and took the top seed for the MASCAC Tournament.

NEWMAC:  MIT and Babson are locks. Coast Guard can help itself big-time with another win. A Springfield win over Smith would keep Springfield out of a complicated tie-breaker procedure. Smith beat Emerson head to head. WPI, Clark and Wellesley are in a dogfight.
