The league continues to look different, especially in the standings, as teams have caught up to the two that were dominating the league not all that long ago. This year, Lehigh came out on top in a league with a lot of younger talent, which bodes well for the future.

Holy Cross knows that the way to win is by playing defense. As such, the Crusaders know that the wins have been hard to come by this season because they have had some struggles at that end of the floor. But they certainly showed up there on Sunday, as they started the crucial final week of the regular season with a 64-51 win over American.

Ed Cooley’s team is growing up, and it hasn’t come at a bad time.
