Re: Lowell, 2016 Off-Season Thread

Saw Clarkson and SLU are going to play a weekend down in Lowell, anyone have any idea who the other half of the duo is when the two NC teams come down?

Thanks for the info. I'm not sure who the the other team will be. Merrimack would probably be the most obvious, but it looks like SLU and Clarkson visited MC & UNH last season.

So far Lowell's known OOC:

UMD (x2)
@CC (x2)
SLU
Clarkson
Colgate (Dartmouth Tourney)
Dartmouth/ASU (Dartmouth Tourney)
@Umass (Alumni Cup)

Assuming Lowell continues to schedule 17 regular season home games, that leaves two more games for an OOC opponent at the Tsongas, and one more on the road (maybe an RPI return trip?).

This is over a week old at this point, but here is a season ending interview with Norm:

Some interesting highlights:
- Evan Campbell is expected to be recovered from his surgery and available by the first game next season.
- They asked about recruiting and according to Norm they "have some loose ends to tie up, we've got one more guy we're going to bring in." (not clear if that player is for next season).
- Robert Francis has accepted a job to teach business in the Cayman Islands.
- Norm has been appointed to a committee that will look into replacing Notre Dame with another member institution.

Thanks for posting. I wonder if Nicholas Marin is the additional recruit Norm mentions. His commitment was right around the time of this interview.

The other NC games are at Nebraska-Omaha x2 and at RPI.

I'm not sure, maybe 2017? Denver released their schedule today also.

Re: Lowell, 2016 Off-Season Thread

Are we sure there is a return trip? That was years ago at this point and Denver has been here multiple times to play schools nearby...

I have no idea. I believe they were expected to make a return trip but maybe that's changed.

One of the years they did the season ticket holder event, they showed the expected return trips, and I thought DU was this year?

well, technically we're off-balance with CC again so they (DU-CC) owe us an entire weekend, 1 game each.

Right, I would have figured we'd have two with Denver at Tsongas this year and then another trip to Colorado in 17-18. That's what led to the question.

Maybe Montgomery coming in screwd something up...
