Bottom Five (4)
They'll occupy the nether regions of the RPI this season:
1. North Carolina Central
2. New Jersey Institute of Technology
3. Presbyterian
4. Maryland-Eastern Shore
5. Northern Colorado

and we play 2 of them. yay SOS


3. Presbyterian's year abroad: The Division I independent opens with eight-straight road games in November and plays 19 of its first 20 on the road. It has a total of six home games all season.
