Mount Ida, which has yet to lose a conference game in four seasons, returns

season ago.
Castleton was picked second after finishing 6-1 in league play for the
second consecutive season. The Spartans, who received one first place vote
and 57 points overall, return seven starters.
Maine Maritime, who returns five starters led by first team all-conference
junior attacker Garrett Lake, also received one first place vote.
