America East Winner

Stony Brook: The regular season champ is on a six game winning streak. Vermont and Hartford have beat them this season and they will likely see one of those teams in the final. 

America East Runner Up

Hartford: On a three game winning streak coming into the tournament the Hawks are hot. Their last game of the season was a win at Vermont. 

America East Sleeper Team

Vermont: Not a true sleeper team, but this team is capable of winning the America East. Good news for the Catamounts are that Boston U. isn't in the tournament. Vermont lost both meetings to Terriers.
