Projection: need to automatically qualify

Stonehill’s ledger is defined more by punishment than by signature scalps; its best moments come in road wins at Wagner and Le Moyne plus gritty victories over Lafayette and Chicago State, while its worst moments are heavy losses on the road at Iowa State and Syracuse and lopsided defeats at DePaul and Rhode Island that will stick with a committee. The pattern is a string of wins against lower-tier opponents mixed with poor results away from home, so the résumé lacks the high-end victories that earn at-large respect. Remaining chances against St Francis PA and Mercyhurst can tidy the record but neither opponent carries the kind of résumé punch to erase those bad road losses. That leaves the straightforward reality that the cleanest route to the tournament for this group is winning its conference.
