The previews have gotten much shorter just due to a variety of factors. Here’s the weekend ahead in a nutshell. Brown is off until next week.

Southern Connecticut, Temple, #31 Maryland at Penn
Friday 7pm, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA

SCSU and Temple had a close meet against each other last week, and Penn continues to improve their scoring week to week. Maryland is one of the top teams on the eastern seaboard. Temple and Penn are working towards ECAC D1 Championships just two weeks from this weekend, and SCSU has their own championship meet that weekend as well. Maryland has both regionals and EAGLs to worry about.

Temple: May 5

Penn: Ivy Classic Feb 14

Maryland: Jan 30

#29 North Carolina State at #34 New Hampshire
Friday 7pm, Lundholm Gymnasium, Durham, NH

The two EAGL teams will meet up in the last regular season home meet for UNH’s nine seniors. Though both teams and the rest of the EAGL will be back in Lundholm on the 27th for the championships. Both teams are currently ranked within the top 36 and hope to stay that way to lock up a bid to regionals. The Wolfpack and the Wildcats have been scoring close to each other so anything can happen in this one.

Towson, Bridgeport, Yale at Rutgers
Saturday 1pm, Livingston Gymnasium, Piscataway, NJ

Towson is the D1 ECAC Champion, Bridgeport is the D2 ECAC Champion and each had a close meet last weekend at UB. Each team will meet again in New Jersey as Yale and Rutgers meanwhile will likely have a close meet of their own and the individual competition among gymnasts on all four teams with a Towson’s power packed lineup going up against Bridgeport’s rotations that have been picking up higher scores in past weeks. Yale and Rutgers each are anchored by a variety high scorers as well.

ECAC Division 3 Championships
Saturday 1pm, SUNY Brockport, Brockport, NY

One of the most exciting meets of the year brings all the ECAC D3 teams together. In recent years it was usually six of the eight teams generally battling it out for the top spots and slots at D3 Nationals, though now MIT is gone, leaving SUNY Cortland, SUNY Brockport, Ithaca College, Springfield College, and Ursinus College to compete. Brockport has been on fire all season climbing both the ECAC and D3 ladder and at home gets a chance to pick up the title, but Cortland, Ithaca, Springfield, and Ursinus come loaded as well, and their RQS is very close. Plus several teams high scores come close to Brockport’s average. ECAC D3’s are generally unpredictable.
