The preseason coaches poll has been released for ACC men's lacrosse, and your Syracuse Orange were voted third in the five-team league. SU was tied with Virginia, gaining 13 total votes. Notre Dame -- which made last year's Final Four -- was first with 25 votes. Duke finished second with 15. North Carolina had nine votes in the fifth spot.
It's a testament to the year-in and year-out strength of the conference, as all five have national title aspirations and could end up finishing first.
Syracuse also saw three players named to the preseason All-ACC squad.
