The Face-Off Yearbook released its Division III conference pre-season polls and the writers of Inside Lacrosse put together their preseason projections for the ten teams in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC). The poll has the defending champion Mustangs of Mount Ida College, who won their first-ever conference title in 2011, ranked in the top spot for the 2012 season. Lasell, who finished just behind Mount Ida last season, is projected to finish second. Norwich University captured the third spot, while Saint Joseph’s College (Me.) and GNAC affiliate Becker College rounded out the top five in the poll. Emmanuel, which will play its inaugural varsity season in 2012, was ranked 9th out of the ten teams in the GNAC preseason poll. To view the complete poll, click here.
