Projection: need to automatically qualify

Sacred Heart’s résumé is shaped by a handful of encouraging results and some damaging setbacks. The road victory at Mt St Mary’s and the home win over Holy Cross stand out as resume-building moments, but those positives are offset by lopsided road defeats at Villanova and Penn State and a rough night at Duquesne. A wild, high-scoring loss at Central Connecticut underscored persistent defensive problems and left little margin for error as conference play begins. A stretch of league games gives multiple chances to repair the profile, with home dates against Iona and Merrimack and trips to NJIT and MA Lowell among the clearer opportunities to collect resume-friendly wins. Sacred Heart must prove it can win away from home against competent opposition and clean up the defensive side of the ball to take full advantage of those opportunities and avoid further damaging results.
