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 look back on the 2010-11 men's and women's basketball regular season. In this segment, UMBC head coach Phil Stern and Vermont head coach Mike Lonergan discuss some of the keys to securing regular season championships, as well as what some of the keys will be to having success in the upcoming conference tournament. 

The next segment is a feature on Albany track and field head coach Roberto Vives. Vives, who recently led the Great Danes to victory in the America East indoor championship, discusses how his role as head coach has evolved over the past 26 years and the importance of his student-athletes succeeding in the classroom.

The student-athlete profile this week features "America East Online" host Max Mandel in an interview with Boston University women's lacrosse player Catie Tilton. The redshirt-junior has seen her role steadily grow throughout her career and this season she is prepared to take on more of a leadership role as she looks to lead the Terriers to another America East Championship. 

The episode concludes with the Best of U. series. This Best of U. focuses on the Newman's Own Campus Community Service Challenge. The segment gives fans glimpses into a number of the community service projects from the nine member institutions that were selected by the Newman's Own Foundation.
