As Boston College has cemented its place in the national title hunt, a greater spotlight has shined on New England college lacrosse.

From that, it's no surprise to see BC lead our preseason coaches poll. But how did other teams in New England stack up?

To answer that, New England Lacrosse Journal presents its Division 1 women's preseason coaches poll. Head and assistant coaches throughout the region voted anonymously and solely for teams within the region. One votes were in, point totals were added up for each school, then sorted from highest to lowest to determine the order.

Let's get right into it, starting with BC and then some surprises.
