So what will happen to the other 3 teams? One of them is Bowdoin -  they host a
pretty big women's tournament each year.
 
I'm glad to see that RIT is participating. With a planned trip to Maine and
several to New England this year, the women's team may have a lagrer travel
budget than the men's team, who, with the exception of one trip to Boston (at
Salem State and UMass-Boston) is traveling only within or very close to New
York State this year.
