Binghamton and America East newcomer Bryant will both play on ESPN+ on Thursday, facing off against James Madison & UT Rio Grande Valley respectively.
New Hampshire was chosen as the #AEMSOC favorite and returns a pair of All-Americans in Yannick Bright and Tola Showunmi as they look to claim their fourth straight America East regular-season championship. Vermont placed second in the preseason poll and took down the Wildcats for the America East Title last November. They return a number of All-Conference performers and open their season on the road against Merrimack.
