Women’s Basketball Picked Seventh In America East Preseason Poll

Stony Brook University’s women’s basketball team has been picked to finish seventh in the America East this season, according to the conference’s preseason coaches’ poll. The poll was released today during the 2009 America East Basketball Tip-Off Event in Hartford, Conn.

Head coach Michele Cherry has four returning starters in a lineup that will be looking to improve upon last season’s seventh place finish. Junior Kirsten Jeter (Elmont, N.Y.) enters the season just 350 points shy of 1,000 and 179 rebounds away from 500, while junior Misha Horsey (Wyncote, Pa.) has started all 60 games of her career.

Defending league champion Vermont just edged Hartford for the top spot in the preseason poll. Binghamton was picked third and New Hampshire and Boston University finished in a tie for fourth. UMBC finished one spot in front of the Seawolves while Maine and Albany rounded out the poll.

Stony Brook’s first home game will be November 13 against Princeton and it will open America East play on January 2 on the road at Hartford.
