Athlon Sports Magazine has picked UMass 1st in the North Division of the A10. The article is written by Mike Barber.
Athlon picks this way:
North Division
- UMass
- New Hampshire
- Hofstra
- Maine
- Northeastern
- Rhode Island
South Division
- James Madison
- Delaware
- Villanova
- Richmond
- William & Mary
- Towson
My picks would mostly revise the lower regions of both divisions. Northeastern's killer schedule of Georgia Southern, @ Youngstown State, @ Villanova, @UMass @ UNH and @Northwestern State will drop them into last place in the North Division
In the South Division, William & Mary's 17 returning starters will boost them into third place behind James Madison and Delaware. Richmond should be 5th and Townson should bring up the rear.
