"The PAC as a whole has been getting tougher every year and we feel very fortunate to be voted the pre-season favorite.," said Cabrini head coach John Dzik. "It should be a very competitive season. Our goal, as it is every year, is to win the conference championship."
Alvernia head coach Jack McCloskey anticipates a very competitive season. "We expect some tough competition as we prepare to defend our PAC championship," said McCloskey. "Several teams brought in outstanding recruiting classes to complement a strong contingent of returning players."
Misericordia University, the PAC runner-up each of the last two seasons, is picked third with 68 points.
"We’re looking to next that next step," said Misericordia head coach Dave Martin, whose team will be led by Willie Chandler, the PAC Player and Rookie of the Year last season. "We’ve got some outstanding players returning, but we suffered some key losses to graduation."
Arcadia is ranked fourth with 49 points. Neumann (39), Marywood (32), Wesley (30), Gwynedd-Mercy (28) and Eastern (11) are picked fifth throught ninth.
