Has William & Mary actually defeated 10 of the other 11 CAA teams this season? I know ODU swept them, but I don’t recall the Tribe beating Towson, either.
This is the shortest time span in which W&M has ever been to two conference finals. The shortest previous span was two Southern Conference finals in four years (1958, 1961).
