The Camels of Connecticut College will seek to make the Division III Eastern Championship game for the first time in program history.
Connecticut's highest finish has been second as the program downed Washington & Jefferson College (17-14 W) and Monmouth College (12-10 W) before taking a 17-8 loss to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology during the 2016 Division III Eastern Championship at Penn State Behrend on October 22-23. Johns Hopkins University elected not to compete at the 2016 event.
Connecticut last finished among the Top Three in 2017 as the Camels fell to Johns Hopkins (15-8 L) prior to topping W&J (13-6 W) and Penn State Behrend (12-9 W) at MIT in Cambridge, Mass.
Connecticut is 3-1 against the rest of the 2019 championship field with prior games against Penn State Behrend (11-8 W), MIT (18-7 L), Monmouth (1914 W) and W&J (19-11 W) with no prior contests versus either Austin College or Johns Hopkins... Last year, the Camels fell to Penn State Behrend (15-13 L) and knocked off Austin (12-11 W) prior to escaping Monmouth (15-14 OT W) in finishing Fifth at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Md.
Connecticut hosted the 2015 Division III Eastern Championship as the Camels placed Fourth with a defeat of Monmouth (12-8 L) prior to dropping games against Johns Hopkins (21-1 L) and Washington & Jefferson (11-9 L).
When Washington & Jefferson last hosted the Division III Eastern Championship in 2014, the Camels also finished in Fourth Place by downing Penn State Behrend (16-10 W) before falling to Johns Hopkins (19-9 L) and the host Presidents (17-12 L).
Connecticut also finished in Fourth Place in 2013 at Johns Hopkins as the squad downed Monmouth (16-14 W) before going down against the host Blue Jays (21-7 L) and Washington & Jefferson (17-9 L).
In 2012, Connecticut notched a Third Place mark at MIT as the Camels eluded Penn State Behrend (11-7 W) and fell to Johns Hopkins (21-6 L) before managing W&J (13-11 W).
Connecticut's three victories in 2019 have all come against Division III competition in either Connecticut or Pennsylvania as the Camels took down Penn State Behrend (11-8 W) at home during the Connecticut Invitational on September 21, 2019, managed Monmouth (19-14 W) at the Washington & Jefferson Invitational on September 29, 2019, and surpassed W&J (1911 W) on October 19, 2019.
