THE RFC MYC: Mountain East Conference (MEC)-(NCAA Division II)

Mountain East Conference (MEC)-(NCAA Division II)

Overview: The Notre Dame College Falcons from South Euclid, Ohio made another deep postseason run in 2019, finishing at 12-2 overall while winning their second straight Mountain East Conference (MEC) championship. NDC knocked off PSAC foes West Chester and Kutztown in the first two rounds of the NCAA Division II playoffs, before falling to Slippery Rock in a high-scoring 65-59 contest in the quarterfinals.

Assuming the coronavirus doesn't bring a complete stop to the 2020 season, expect NDC to be favored to win their third straight MEC championship. Should the Falcons falter, however, there are multiple challengers waiting in the wings in Charleston (W. Va.)-(8-3, 7-3), Frostburg State (8-3, 7-3), and West Virginia State (7-4, 7-3). All four teams finished last fall in a four-way tie for second place in the MEC with the now-defunct Urbana University (7-4, 7-3), which closed its doors permanently due to continued concerns over COVID-19 at the end of the spring semester.

While Urbana has closed its doors for good, another program is set to take its place, as UNC Pembroke joins the MEC as an associate member this fall.
