Voting was conducted by the league's head coaches, who were not allowed to vote for their own team. New Hampshire (49 pts.) was voted as the unanimous preseason vote, garnering seven first-place votes. Vermont was selected second in the conference for the third consecutive season. UMBC (35 pts.) and UAlbany (33 pts.) round out the league's top four teams.
The No. 2 ranking in the preseason poll ties UVM's highest ranking under head coach
