Hays' latest piece really looks all around the nation and the Atlantic 10 got a few mentions.

Lauren Nacke and Dayton:
Dayton's Lauren Nacke made the most of senior day on Sunday, hitting her 17th home run of the season to extend her single-season program record. She also owns the career record with 34 home runs. The twist? She's just a junior. The Flyers also used the weekend to clinch a spot in the Atlantic 10 tournament for the first time since 2000.
Fordham is in a solid position for an at-large bid:

| Jen Mineau |
If you prefer your postseason sleepers come equipped with the potential for dominant pitching, it might be time to take another look at Fordham. The Rams swept four games over the weekend, including two games at rival Massachusetts, to clinch the Atlantic 10 regular-season title and the top seed in the upcoming conference tournament in Charlotte. How they did it is equally noteworthy, as Jen Mineau threw back-to-back shutouts against Minutewomen ace Sara Plourde, including a 12-strikeout, four-hitter in the second game of the series. Slowed noticeably early in the season by a stress fracture in her foot, Mineau is 9-3 with a 1.27 ERA and 122 strikeouts against nine walks in 77.1 innings in conference play. Thanks to a brutal early schedule, Fordham is in good shape for an at-large bid, even if it falls in Charlotte, and if it plays close to home in a regional (at, say, Hofstra or Maryland), it would be a tough out.
