In response to jkrun80
The PL overall is very weak this year. Army and Navy are two of the worst teams in the country. Lafayette and Loyola are only slightly less bad. Colgate is just moderately bad. American is a bit of a mystery. They went 1-10 OOC against a tough schedule (comparable to the Bison). I don't know if they've had injury issues or are just unusually bad (considering they are defending PL champs).
American had their longtime coach, Megan Gebbia, leave late last spring to become the coach of Wake Forest. When she left, three or four of her seniors who were planning to return for a fifth year opted to enter the transfer portal and left. She also took a couple of her assistant coaches, so American ended up being much weaker than anyone would’ve expected back in March.
Army is a bit of an enigma. They were picked for fifth place in the preseason poll, but have under performed. One issue is that they had one of the leagues top freshmen last year, Trinity Hardy, who tore her ACL at the start of December. She has yet to play this year so either her rehab has gone slowly or else she has been re-injured.
