Long Island, the 2023-24 regular-season champion, has been selected as the preseason favorite to repeat, according to the NEWHA preseason poll in a vote by the NEWHA head coaches.<\/p>\n

“It’s exciting to get this kind of recognition going into the season,” said LIU coach Kelly Nash in a statement. “We have a lot of returners, a lot of seniority, in addition to our younger classes eager and ready to contribute to our team. We feel like we have a lot of the right pieces here and its already shown in just the first couple of weeks since they’ve been back. I think it’s safe to say we have some goals leftover from last season that we want to work towards achieving, as well as some new ones at the national level.<\/p>\n

“All in all, it’s looking like a fun season ahead of us and we’re ready for it.”<\/p>\n
