WALTHAM, Mass. – Bentley University is ranked 10th in the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association's Preseason Division II Coaches Poll, it was announced earlier Monday.

The Falcons finished in the top-10 of last season's final USILA poll after going 9-5 overall and 7-3 in the Northeast-10. They've already been ranked eighth by Inside Lacrosse and ninth by Lacrosse Magazine in their respective preseason Division II polls.
