AMERICA EAST RELEASE<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

CAMBRIDGE, MASS<\/strong>. \u2013 The America East\u2019s men\u2019s soccer coaches voted the University at Albany men\u2019s soccer team to a fifth-place finish in the preseason poll, the league announced Tuesday. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

UAlbany earned 27 points, one point shy of Stony Brook to rank fifth. The Great Danes earned their highest preseason league ranking in Trevor Gorman<\/a>\u2019s tenure as head coach. The last time the Purple & Gold earned a preseason ranking above No. 6 was in 2009, when the Great Danes garnered one first-place vote and the No. 4 spot. UAlbany reached the conference title game in 2008.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gorman\u2019s squad returns nine starters and 80% of its offensive production from one season ago. The Great Danes (6-11-4, 3-3-1 AE) fell 2-1 in overtime to nationally ranked and eventual 2013 league champion UMBC in the league semifinals in Baltimore.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Retrievers were picked to win the league, earning seven first-place votes for 49 points. Hartford finished second with 42 points after falling to UMBC in the championship last season. New Hampshire took the third-place spot with 34 points. Four points separated No. 4 from No. 6, with Stony Brook taking 28 points for the fourth-place slot. Vermont came in behind UAlbany with 24 points at No. 6. Binghamton (12 points) and UMass Lowell (8 points) rounded out the eight-team poll.<\/span><\/p>\n

UAlbany men\u2019s soccer kicks off the 2014 season against Appalachian State on Friday, Aug. 29 at 5:00 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n
