HOT
LIU Post (+3)
The Pioneers lost two early games to Pace and Merrimack, but have since rallied off five straight wins. LIU Post sits 3-0 in the ECC, with opponents like NYIT, Saint Anselm and Mercy to come. William Snelders leads Division II with 4.44 goals per game.
NYIT (+1)
Similarly to Florida Tech, the Bears have overcome a poor start to the season and rallied off a big win streak. After taking down Mercy last week, NYIT is at six straight games. Leroy Halftown leads the way with 35 goals so far this season.
NOT
Limestone (-3)
It had been nine years since Limestone lost a Sunshine State Conference game. The loss to Belmont Abbey just added to what has been a disappointing season for the Saints. Gone are the days of Kevin Reisman — Limestone ranks 16th in the country with a 59.5 faceoff win percentage.
Pace (-4)
The Setters have now lost three straight games — to Le Moyne by three goals, Saint Anselm by five goals and Merrimack by 10 goals. This team wasn’t expected top Le Moyne or Merrimack, but the margin for error was small for a game against Saint Anselm. Pace has scored just 41 goals in a five-game stretch that also includes a loss to Adelphi.
NEW
Saint Anselm
The Hawks upset Pace 12-7 on Wednesday and followed it up with a dominant with over Bentley. Saint Anselm has won five of seven games, with losses to No. 1 Le Moyne and No. 3 Merrimack sandwiched in between. It sits in a tie for fourth in the NE-10 with a 5-3 record.
OUT
Rockhurst
With a chance to upset its RMAC rival Colorado Mesa at home, Rockhurst fell at the buzzer on a Colin Ketcham buzzer-beater. The Hawks went 0-for-2 in chances to top Mesa, but still own wins over Mercyhurst and Lindenwood, so they sit right on the edge of getting back into the rankings soon.
