Conference and Schedule

St. Anselm plays in the Northeast 10 (www.northeast10.org) which has established itself as one of the premier all-around D2 conferences. It is the second largest conference made up of 15 schools from six New England States. Regular league games start in late November or early December though non-conference opponents are scheduled up until January 1. A two week break at Xmas is customary. League games are often played on Tuesday or Wednesday evening and Saturday afternoon and are piggybacked with the women's. Because the league is so large, not every team is played the customary two times. The season concludes with the Northeast 10 Tourney which includes 12 teams with first round byes for the top four teams. The winner receives an automatic NCAA berth.

Conference Opponents

St. Rose, Pace, American Inter., Assumption, Le Moyne, Stonehill, Bentley, Bryant, Merrimack, UMASS-Lowell, Southern Connecticut St., St. Michaels, Franklin Pierce, and New Hampshire College.
