CHESAPEAKE TEAM PREVIEWS

DAY 2 OF 8:

CHESAPEAKE TEAM PREVIEWS:  The Chesapeake region is built of schools throughout  Maryland, DC, Eastern Pennsylvania, and Virginia. This region looks different than it has in the past with Eastern PA schools in for 21-22 and newcomer Old Dominion has joined!

The conferences are still wide open as we move to the Spring Season. In the Central, George Mason (4-1) leads the way with Stevenson (2-1), Maryland (2-1), and Georgetown (5-3) right on their tail. The North is lead by Temple (3-1) with Millersville (2-1), and Villanova (4-2) looking to take over.  In the South, James Madison (5-1) leads the way while Salisbury (3-2) and VCU (2-2) are looking to make up some ground.  Last but not least, the West is lead by Bloomsburg at 4-2 and Dickinson in 2nd at 2-1. Penn State has not played any conference games yet, but they are historically a very strong program who will make a run at the conference title.
