NORFOLK, Virginia - The Monmouth University bowling team was picked to finish fifth in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Preseason Poll, the league announced Thursday afternoon.

"Our team will not focus too much on the preseason rankings, but I believe we have the potential to exceed these expectations," Director of Bowling Karen Grygiel said. "We are excited to get our season started and match up against the high quality competition in the MEAC."

Defending MEAC Champion North Carolina A&T State was picked to finish first, ahead of Maryland Eastern Shore, Delaware State and UAB, in that order. The Hawks earned one first-place vote and 151 total points in the poll.
