Eagles Top NAC Hoops Preseason Poll

The new look NAC now includes two new schools - UMaine Presque Isle and SUNY-Canton in New York. Gone from the NAC are Castleton, Green Mountain College, NEC and Colby-Sawyer.
Coach Kissy Walker and her Husson Eagles are three-time defending conference champs and will be led by three-time All-Conference pick Kenzie Worcester.
Coach Craig Dagan and his MMA Mariners return the top three scorers from last year's team, including All-Conference pick Alayne Felix. The Mariners lost to the Eagles in last year's championship game.
