Everyone voted BC#1 (last year NCAA champion) except BC who couldn't/didn't vote for his own team. (my supposition!) My guess is that despite UNH and BU fan expectations, they might even finish lower ... and NU might finish lower. Out on a limb ... I think Maine and BC should be head and shoulders above the rest of the league and that overall the league will be weaker this season ... but the inter-league play will show us for sure. All-in-all, I like our prospects as well as anyone else's. Of course, Cathy's probably wondering how Maine could be ranked 2nd in HEA when they'll soon have a 42-0 record and a 2nd national championship! :-) cheers, wayne Wayne T.
