Amy Huchthausen, the commissioner of the America East Conference, came on downtown before the start of the America East playoffs to talk about the conference and discuss the upcoming tournament. Huchthausen said she was happy with the image of the league as one that is very talented athletically, but also known for excelling in the classroom as well. She also said that the tournaments have been a success on both the men’s and women’s sides as of late and will continue in their current formats for the foreseeable future. Huchthausen also hinted that we may see some enhanced coverage of the conference in the coming months and years as well.
