34 Teams in 34 Days: Saint Peter’s
Outlook: With three standout seniors graduated, most pundits will forecast the Peacocks to finish 2017-18 in the bottom third of the MAAC. Given some talented newcomers, however, there’s upside for John Dunne’s squad to get into the middle of the pack. Continue reading “34 Teams in 34 Days: Saint Peter’s”
34 Teams in 34 Days: Brown

34 Teams in 34 Days: Dartmouth
Outlook: Evan Boudreaux will keep padding his resume as one of the program’s all-time greats, but Dartmouth needs a huge defensive leap to avoid another season near the Ivy League basement.
