In this edition of "America East Online", the show profiles the latest stories and achievements of the America East Conference. America East Online is a 20-minute web-only show which features all nine of the conference's campuses and highlights athletics, academics and leadership.

The episode begins with a feature on University at Albany Director of Athletics Dr. Lee McElroy. In this segment, McElroy discusses how he originally became involved in intercollegiate athletics, as well as some of the keys to helping the Great Danes make the successful transition to the Division I level. 

The next segment continues the focus on former coaches of the America East Conference with a profile on current Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey. Brey discusses some of his favorite memories from his time at the University of Delaware and the impact that coaching in the America East had on developing him as a coach.

The student-athlete profile this week features "America East Online" host Max Mandel in an interview with Binghamton track and field student-athlete Cazal Arnett, who has been one of the top runners in the conference over the past four years. In the interview, Arnett discusses how he fell in love with track and field, as well as why he has been so actively-involved in SAAC. 

The episode concludes with the Best of U. series. This Best of U. focuses on the Boston University swimming & diving team and how it has rallied around senior diver Bailey O'Brien as she battles cancer. The segment includes moving footage from the recently completed America East Swimming & Diving Championship meet and an interview with diving teammate Melinda Matyas.
