Navy was forced to shut down all sports, except for men's basketball- due to positive covid tests. Thus they are out of the women's tournament.
Seeds:
1 Bucknell
2 Boston U
3 American
4 Lehigh
5 Holy Cross
6 Army
7 Lafayette
8 Loyola
Bison will play Loyola in the first round next Sunday in Sojka.

Hate to be that person, but I wonder if the #1 seed by the men had anything to do with the men being able to continue while all other sports are over.

I think you're in the right ballpark, but I think the Academy probably gave their men's team special treatment a week ago - by putting them into quarantine - because they are having a great season and had a shot to win it all. Athletic success is a HUGE factor in everything they do. And Navy has gone 20 years without getting to a PL final, so winning this year has to be a massive priority. Navy actually went 15 straight years without even reaching the semis until they got there in 2017.
Having said that, if their men's team had no positive tests, I wouldn't be stunned if they claimed the team had been in lockdown just to make it appear they weren't getting special treatment.

Navy women were 5-3 in league play, in case anyone else wondered how they were doing before being put in dry dock.

Against a pretty easy schedule however. Navy ended up not playing any games against the league’s top 3: Bucknell, Boston U, and Lehigh. They also avoided #5 Holy Cross.

The Bison women beat Loyola 65-50 today in the first round. They looked like a team that hadn't played a game in five weeks and had had few full practices.
BU finished the first half on a 15-0 run over 5:30. Except for that run, they played Loyola, the league's worst team, exactly evenly. If they don't up their game by Thursday, they won't beat Lehigh - who may be the league's #2 team.
For the Bison, two players had double doubles. Taylor O'Brien got 22 points and 11 rebounds, while Tessa Brugler had 11 and 11.

Agree that the women looked like a team that was very rusty on Sunday, and also agree that they are in trouble if they play like that vs LU. But I don’t expect they will play like they did vs Loyola. That one game and a few additional practices should get them close to where they were before being shutdown.
But if you are looking for something to be concerned about, how about having to beat a team, especially a good team, 5 times in a row in order to keep your season going?
I think the ladies will do it!

That's one L of a streak. Here's hoping we ruin it by beating Lehigh and advancing to face Boston University or American.

Just like the men. It’s nearly impossible to take a month off with no games or practices and compete with a team well prepared and in postseason form. Go Bison!

For the women, it is a lot worse. They were shut down for an extra week, and I understand a couple players actually had covid. It normally takes a long time to fully recover.

Oh. I hadn't heard that.
In any event, they had more recovery time. The women got shut down the final week - when the men were playing - due to positive tests among players.

They did what they needed to do defensively but couldn't score. Missed from everywhere on the floor.
