The hazard of playing a killer schedule when you don´t have a conference affiliation. They played a boatload of top 10 teams and were very competitive in all but one game, but couldn´t get the signature win that would probably have put them in

I was really surprised we didn't find a conf home for this team. That's gotta be high on the list for the AD office next year. feel bad for the seniors

Every other team that was in the NorPac last year landed in the America East. Longwood got into the MAC. How did we not manage to get a conference home for these ladies somewhere?

Ranked #12 with two wins over top-15 teams and they didn't get in with that SOS? that's some garbage.

Bada Bing!

Great news!

exciting news! As a NJ native, I'm looking forward to catching some games. I was on the sideline of the Villanova football game last year and can tell you that the locals were impressed with the Liberty following.
