South Easton, Mass. – The Le Moyne College Dolphins (7-2, NE-10) were picked to finish on top of the Northeast-10 Men’s Lacrosse standings this upcoming season as voted by the conference’s 11 head coaches.

Last year’s Division II National Champion, the Dolphins received 10 first-place votes out of a possible 11. Le Moyne won their second straight Division II National Championship last season as they became the league’s first three-time National Champion. The Dolphins won their first title in 2004.

The Bulldogs ended Le Moyne’s seven year reign as the conference’s regular season champion by winning its first ever title. The Dolphins though did claim their seventh straight NE-10 Championship over Bryant, a 5-4 victory in last year’s championship game.

Saint Michael’s College (7-2, NE-10) received 94 points and is selected to finish third in the standings ahead of Merrimack College (5-4, NE-10) whom received the final first-place vote and 89 points. Saint Anselm College (4-5, NE-10) is predicted to finish fifth after receiving 66 points, slightly ahead of Pace University (4-5, NE-10) with 61 points. The Penmen of Southern New Hampshire University (3-6, NE-10) edged out Bentley College (3-6, NE-10) for the seventh place spot with 59 points. The Falcons are picked to finish eighth with 54 points.

Assumption College (3-6, NE-10), Franklin Pierce University (0-9, NE-10) and American International College round out the poll respectively.

The 2008 season gets under way this weekend as Bryant plays host to Adelphi University on Saturday. The first NE-10 match-up of the season is set for Saturday, March 15 as Saint Michael’s travels to Saint Anselm. The Northeast-10 championship begins on Tuesday, April 29 with First-Round action and will conclude on Sunday, May 4 with the championship game.
