PLAYOFF IMPLICATIONS
Entering the last game of the regular season, the Red Flash still have an outside shot at making the NEC tournament.
SFU now has 14 points on the year, and will need a win on Sunday over Mount St. Mary's and a loss or tie by Sacred
Heart to Monmouth to claim the fourth and final playoff spot in the NEC tournament. Also, if SFU ties the Mount and SHU
loses, the Flash could also sneak in.
