The rest: Chapman from ‘B’. Leaving 18 to come from ‘C’: locks are Williams (still a probable one-seed), Va. Wesleyan, Concordia, Amherst, E. Mennonite, Oswego St., WPI, Becker, P-S Behrends, WesConn, & Tex-Dallas. Nobody above has more than 5 L’s. Remaining 7 spots up for grabs- Ramapo (21-6); Ithaca (20-6) , Emory (@19-5 don’t think UAA strong this year); Wabash (20-6, but not a good Feb.); not sure Ferrum qualifies even with only 5 L’s, nor Salem St. with 6, but think they’re in the discussion with some better 7 L. squads. Beyond this there will some moaning & gnashing of teeth for the final spots. Clubbo.
