Saturday's stakes

The men's A side match against Maryland matters in the table. JMU, Maryland, and Delaware are all chasing third in the conference, so Saturday's result moves the standings. The Dukes come in off a 34-17 win over Temple, where an early 24-0 lead held up through a tighter second half.
