Nestled on 600 acres of forests and farmland in the city of Loretto, Pennsylvania, is this small private school, Saint Francis, with an undergrad population of around 2,000 students.
The Red Flash play in the Northeast Conference, which has sent few regulars to the tournament, like Robert Morris, Long Island, and Fairleigh Dickinson, but none have made it past the Round of 64. SFU’s last tournament bid was in 1991.
The Team
Coached by Rob Krimmel in his ninth season and returning all but one player from last year, the Saint Francis Red Flash are currently 4-5 with wins over D3 Franciscan University, Patriot League stalwarts Lehigh (1-8) and Bucknell (0-8), and American East foe Hartford (1-8), who appeared in the tournament last year.
