Well, if the CAA had agreed to start its tourney final at 8 a.m.... but seriously, in my opinion the league doesn't get the respect it deserves. Delaware winning at least one more game this season would help. Longer term, adding Stony Brook should be a positive.

Rookie caused turnovers in a season
Previous record: 33, Zach Currier, 2018

2022 leader: Reid Bowering, 34

Record achieved
Bowering is likely to finish behind Jeff Teat (who appears just down the page) for the Rookie of the Year award,
but he may well have had one of the best rookie seasons in the league's history.
His pair of CTOs in the season finale pushed him one ahead of Zach Currier, whose remarkable season will be noted just a couple of records down the column as well.

Rookie loose balls in a season
Existing record: 214, Brodie Merrill, 2006

2022 leader: Reid Bowering, 214

Record tied
While Bowering didn't break this record, tying it may have been as impressive as any record that was broken. The fact that he caught he matched Merrill's mark was noteworthy, but it's the way he did it that really jumps out. Bowering collected an astonishing 23 loose balls in the final game of the season, catching up to Merrill when it had looked like a foregone conclusion that he would fall a bit short.

Reid Bowering had more caused turnovers and as many loose ball recoveries as any rookie ever in the NLL. Beyond the numbers, he just leaps off the screen every time you watch him play, the kind of player who has an obvious impact when he's on the floor. And how about his sense of drama, needing an improbable 23 loose balls in his final game to catch the great Brodie Merrill for the rookie loose ball record when he hadn't had more than 16 in a game before that...and scooping 23 loosies

good timing by Hens where it looks like this could be a
good era for CAA play, the CAA goes through these cycles.

Hens, of course.
But Tigers, they’re on an up swing, Kyle Berkeley, Nick
DeMaio, and Weisshaar coming in this summer.
Stony Brook got the St. John’s transfer to team with
Dylan Pallonetti.
Dutch in the last few games were really clicking on offense
with Kane et al.
And even Drexel, took a definite step back, they need to turn
their roster over, too many 5th year guys, a real good top
recruiting class coming in the fall.
