Men’s Soccer Tabbed Seventh in 2011 NECC Preseason Poll

ATTLEBORO, Mass. – The Elms College men's soccer team was selected to finish seventh in the 2011 New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) Preseason Poll as announced by the league on Monday.

Voting for the preseason poll is conducted by each member head coach, including new member Regis College.

The Blazers will look to a talented group of returners and newcomers behind third-year head coach Chris Streeter in 2011. Senior goalkeeper Ryan Sullivan (Agawam, Mass.) returns between the pipes and is 17 saves shy of tying the program's all-time saves record.

Here is a look at how the preseason voting unfolded:
