New Haven vs Stonehill Prediction 

Both of these teams have had a rough start to the season, but they will have a chance to start conference play 1-0 with a win here. New Haven has lost four games in a row and they have scored 64 points or fewer in all four. Stonehill has just one D1 win so far this year and they have lost five D1 games in a row. Neither team shoots the ball very well and both teams struggle to score, so I like the under in this contest.
