Over the next week-plus, and in the current issue of New England Lacrosse Journal, we will preview every Division 1 men’s and women’s team in New England.
Today’s post focuses on the region’s women’s teams in a league that’s undergone offseason transformation as much as any – the Northeast Conference.
Both of last year’s top two teams have moved on, regular-season champ Bryant to the America East and tournament champion Mount St. Mary’s to the MAAC.
The league newcomers are Stonehill and Fairleigh Dickinson, which are both in their first seasons at the Division 1 level.
