Projection: need to automatically qualify
Maine’s resume leaves little room for an at-large case because it is littered with heavy road losses at George Washington, Rutgers, Ohio and Miami of Ohio and a home collapse to Canisius that overwhelm the handful of bright spots. The team’s best moments are a gritty road victory at Boston University and tight wins at NJIT and at home against SUNY Albany and Binghamton that show the defense can keep games within reach while the offense too often fails to finish, and close neutral-site losses to Longwood and Siena underline that recurring pattern. With the regular season ending with home dates versus MA Lowell, Vermont and NJIT and road tests at Bryant, New Hampshire, SUNY Albany and Binghamton, Maine has ways to build momentum but realistically must capture the America East tournament’s automatic bid to reach the national field.
