Down Year Only Gets MEC Two Teams In Tourney.

Anybody who closely followed the Mountain East Conference knew it was it was a down year for the conference going into Sunday's NCAA DII Selection show. Notre Dame College had a rough year- Shepherd could not meet expectations- Fairmont State played themselves out of the tournament with a late season swoon that included a loss to Concord in the opening round of the conference tournament. West Virginia State underachieved after a hot start- and- Charleston got it together late in the season,  but fell in the conference title game to Wheeling Jesuit. Wheeling and West Liberty, as they have for several seasons now will represent the MEC in the Atlantic Region. The Cardinals will be the third seed in the Atlantic Region and take on sixth seeded West Chester- while the fourth seeded Hilltoppers will take on fifth seeded Shippensburg. Virginia State is the top seed and host- while Virginia Union snuck into the eighth spot as an automatic qualifier. Second seeded East Stroudsburg and seventh seeded Gannon rounded out the region.
