America East: Bears Preseason #1 Pick
The UMaine women's basketball team owns back-to-back America East Conference titles and according to the preseason coaches poll the Black Bears are in line to three-peat.
AE coaches make UMaine the unanimous choice to win the conference. You can't vote for your own team so clearly coach Amy Vachon picked UAlbany with her pick.
Last year's Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, Blanca Millan, was named preseason All-Conference.
