With seven of its now nine member schools located in New England, the Division 2 Northeast-10 is home to the largest number of men’s lacrosse programs in the region.
Last year, the winner of the NE-10 title went on to win the NCAA title, as Adelphi ran roughshod through its schedule backed by the D-2 Player of the Year, goaltender Dylan Renner.
The Panthers may have been undefeated in the conference, but they didn’t win by blowing everyone out -- they gutted out games with an incredible settled-set defense and a lethal counter-attacking offense.
This season, there are programs with the same designs on the division’s biggest prize, but all of them will have to get through the same brutal conference schedule -- plus an inevitable showdown with Adelphi -- in order to get there.
