Rivier Tabbed to Win GNAC in Preseason Coaches Poll

Rivier has been selected as the preseason favorite to win the Great Northeast Athletic Conference volleyball title this season in a vote by the conference's head coaches.  The Raiders, the 2007 and 2008 GNAC champions, received seven of the possible 13 first-place votes, tallying 90 overall points. Rivier is coming off a season in which they compiled an 11-1 conference record (25-11 overall).

Johnson and Wales was second behind Rivier with 86 points and three first-place votes, followed by Emerson, Emmanuel and Norwich to round out the top five.  Lasell was sixth, while Mount Ida and Simmons filled the final two spots.
