Aston, PA - Alvernia College's baseball team has
been selected as the pre-season favorite in the Pennsylvania Athletic
Conference (PAC) coaches' poll. The defending champion Crusaders
received five of the eight first-place votes and a total of 61 points
to finish ahead of Gwynedd-Mercy College.
Gwynedd-Mercy, the 2005 Conference runner-up, earned
two first-place vote and 53 points to finish in second place in
the poll. Neumann College earned the other first-place vote.
"Over the past five years, the PAC has had
a number of great regional showings and has proven to be a Conference
to be reckoned with," Alvernia head coach Yogi Lutz said. "To
be selected first in the pre-season poll shows what commitment our
players have. As everyone knows, it is where you finish that counts,
not where your start."
Arcadia University (45), College Misericordia (41),
Marywood University (28), Wesley College (24), Neumann (22) and
Eastern University (13) rounded out the voting.
