E8 Women's Lacrosse Page

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (February 28, 2014) – The Stevens Institute of Technology women's lacrosse team was picked to finish third in the Empire 8 according to a poll of the league's head coaches.
 
Ithaca College was selected to win the conference with 46 points and four first-place votes, and St. John Fisher College was No. 2 (44 points). Stevens received one first-place vote and 36 points, with Nazareth College checking in fourth, Utica College fifth, Elmira College sixth, Hartwick College seventh and Alfred University eighth.
 
Stevens earned the No. 4 seed in the conference tournament a season ago after going 4-3 in the conference. The Ducks fell in the semifinals to No. 1 seed Ithaca.
 
It was the 10th-straight postseason for the Ducks as three players earned first-team all-conference honors and that same trio was named All-Boardwalk Region.
 
Stevens is currently 1-1 on the season after an emphatic season-opening win over the College of Mount Saint Vincent, and a tough-luck loss to Farmingdale State College Wednesday.
 
The Ducks will host Montclair State University on Saturday at 11 a.m. and open Empire 8 play with three road games in late March; March 22 and Hartwick, March 28 at Utica and March 29 at Elmira. Stevens' first E8 home contest is against Alfred University April 5.
 
All Duck home games will be webcast live at www.Empire8.TV.
