He won two straight Little East titles in 1994 and 1995. The Anchorwomen won the LEC crown again in 1999, and are looking to give RIC its fourth title in the past seven years this fall. RIC will have home court advantage this year as it hosts the Little East Championships on Oct. 14 and 15. We re hoping to get a big crowd here since the LEC Championships are being held on Homecoming weekend, Ernst says. Although having the championship matches on your home court is helpful, it doesn t guarantee anything.
Teams still have to be good in order to win.
The only blemish on RIC s record was a 6-3 loss to LEC rival Southern Maine on Sept. 8. RIC finished second at the Southern Maine Invitational with nine points on Sept. 30 as well. Southern Maine won with 27 points. Obviously, Southern Maine is a good team, Ernst says. We played them tough down here and every one of our players made it to the championship match at their invitational.
