Best road trips of 2015: Week 3

Friday, Sept. 18: SUNY-Maritime at Merchant Marine
Saturday, Sept. 19: Washington and Jefferson at Carnegie Mellon
Saturday, Sept. 19: St. Vincent at Case Western Reserve

Next: Week 4


If you started the season by taking our Northeast road trip, you'll be seeing SUNY-Maritime for a second time when you see SUNY-Maritime at Merchant Marine. And our goal is to minimize repeating teams as much as possible, but we've also put a ton of miles on your mythical vehicle the first two weeks, so we're trying to make it a little easier this time around. Merchant Marine is a beautiful campus and you actually get a direct line of sight across the East River/Little Neck Bay to SUNY-Maritime. But leave extra time to get there because of New York City traffic and because the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy can be a little tough to get to. From there you wind your way out of New York City and get yourself on the road to Pittsburgh to see Washington and Jefferson at Carnegie Mellon. After you get in that PAC contest, continue on to Cleveland to see Carnegie Mellon's PAC-UAA rival with St. Vincent at Case Western Reserve. We're still getting you a pretty quick turnaround between that 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. game but you do have at least a few minutes to spare, if the traffic is good.

For alternates, you could always start Friday night at Bridgewater State or Nichols if you want to add to your drive time. There's definitely a possibility that takes you through Rochester, N.Y., for noon games at the University of Rochester or Brockport, then on to Case Western Reserve, but that itinerary gives you only a few minutes to spare. You could instead double back and catch a night game at Utica, but didn't you see Utica play last week?

Total: Three games, 527 miles start to finish.
