Week 1 of the 2025 season is in the books! The Atlantic 10 picked up several key wins, including victories over Syracuse, Temple, Princeton, and more! Most importantly, the top three teams all performed well out of the gates, as the A-10 looks to be a multi-bid league in the NCAA Tournament this year. Some games to keep an eye on this week include Richmond facing Fairfield, Dayton travelling to Cameron Indoor to face Duke, and Davidson playing at Cincinnati.
Also, shoutout to Saint Joseph’s head coach Cindy Griffin on her 400th career victory on Sunday!
