Montclair St., the two time defending Skyline Conference Champion, has been picked as the preseason favorite with 25 points and five first place nods. The Dolphins and Kean follow in a tie for second with 18 points apiece. Rounding out the six team field are Farmingdale St. with 14 points, Ramapo with 10 points and Maritime with five.
The Mount posted a 9-9 overall record in 2007 and a 4-2 mark in Skyline Conference play. The Dolphins also earned an ECAC Tournament bid where they were defeated by Vassar.
The Dolphins were led a season ago by Kelly Martin (Stony Point, NY) who posted 53 points on the strength of 39 goals and 14 assists. Martin was one of seven Dolphins to record at least 10 goals. Cyndi Adams (Mechanicsville, MD) led the squad with 41 markers last season and was second only to Martin in points with 45. Jackie Horn (Setauket, NY) returns after seeing action in 14 games, including 11 starts, in goal last season. Horn stopped 109 shots a year ago as a freshman.
Mount Saint Vincent opened the 2008 campaign on March 2 with a hard fought 10-7 loss at Drew. In the contest the Mount had five different players post a goal, led by Martin’s three markers.
At 0-1 on the season, the Mount will play a pair of games this weekend. The Dolphins will play at Stevens at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday before traveling to Elmira for a 2:00 p.m. tilt on Sunday afternoon.
