Rhode Island Tops CLC-II Poll
BOSTON – After a magical run to the MCLA Division II nationwide championship recreation final spring, Rhode Island has been tabbed the favourite within the 2023 Continental Lacrosse Convention (CLC) preseason coaches ballot.
The Rams (12-3), which comfortably rolled to the CLC crown final spring, scooped up 5 of the seven* first-place votes to push 10 factors away from the sector.
Bridgewater State (8-7) snagged the remaining two first-place ballots to take a seat within the second chair.
UMass-Dartmouth (5-4) and Central Conn. State (3-8) are locked in a tie for third within the preseason ballot of this eight-team league.
