Rooting for Providence in this one.
I really like what Nate Leaman has done in the past few years; first laying the groundwork for Union's title in 2014, and now, in his 3rd season at Providence.
Neat 3 degrees of separation factoid...
Leaman recruited Josh Jooris when he was at Union. Now, Leaman and the Friars return to the NCAA final, a game in which Providence last played back in 1985 when the Friars lost to an RPI team that included Jooris' father.
A win today by Providence would give the NCAA its third first time champion in the past three years (Yale in 2013, Union in 2014).
