ECAC preseason poll

Men's Lacrosse
Michael King

The coaches of the ECAC Lacrosse League picked UMass to finish second in the conference this season. The Minutemen are coming off a 7-7 campaign from 2007 that did not lead to an NCAA tournament bid. UMass has talent at most positions including junior Doc Schneider, defenseman Sean Krygier and junior attackman Jim Connolly.

Georgetown was picked to win the league and has enough depth to outclass the other teams in the league. The Hoyas have a unique combination of senior leadership and skilled sophomores that could make them national title contenders in May.

Here how the league shapes up:
1. Georgetown
2. UMass
3. Loyola
4. Penn State
5. Rutgers
6. St. John's
7. Fairfield
8. Hobart
