Stonehill vs. Central Connecticut Prediction

I’m on Central Connecticut here. I get the case to be made for an underdog like Stonehill as laying points like this with Central Connecticut isn’t one’s first thought, but the Blue Devils have been the best team in the NEC up to this point in the year and I think that they know that if they get it done here, they have one hand on the NEC championship and they’ll have at least a share of the regular season title. Stonehill is just overmatched here, and I think the Blue Devils get it done here. Give me Central Connecticut.
