Projection: need to automatically qualify
Mt St Mary's résumé is anchored by tangible wins on the road at midmajor opponents and a gritty home victory over Howard, yet it is overshadowed by a string of damaging defeats at major-conference sites such as Ohio State, Cincinnati, Maryland and West Virginia that exposed struggles away from home. Those midmajor triumphs show the team can scrape out meaningful victories but losses to peer conference foes like Sacred Heart, Drexel and Marist have left the résumé short on quality scalps. The remaining Metro Atlantic slate, which includes trips to Iona and Quinnipiac and home dates against St Peter's, Rider and Niagara, offers clear chances to pick up the kind of road and neutral wins the committee values and to erase early blemishes; how the team performs in those moments will determine whether the early damage can be repaired.
